Meanwhile, the price has moved according to the analysis and has respected both the $1,785 and $1,800 levels as follows:

The US dollar has taken a nosedive at the start of the week which is fuelling the corrective surge to beyond a 50% mean reversion of the 10. Feb highs to the recent low’s range as well as the 10-day EMA. 

This gives scope to a continuation to test the bear’s commitments at $1,820 where there is a confluence of the 61.8% Fibo retracements of the same range and the 20-day EMA. 

On the way there, however and according to 1-hour Momentum, a correction to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement or a 50% mean reversion of the recent bullish impulse may be in order first.  This area comes in at $1,803/05 as a supporting structure.

Deeper than that, there is a confluence of the hourly 10-SMA and the 61.8% Fibo of the same range at $1,800 psychological support:
