TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

To that end, a nearby Fibonacci level at 10,210 will be an early opportunity for bulls to look to ward off further losses. The retracement is drawn from the February highs to the March lows, and its influence on price is visible throughout the latter half of March and in early April. Thus, if bears look to drive price lower, the 10,210 area may have something to say about it.

On the other hand, resistance may reside overhead at 10,900 which coincides with the 50% retracement of the recent market crash. Since not all chartists believe in the 50% Fibonacci level – because technically it is not part of the Fibonacci sequence – subsequent resistance around 11,060 may be a more appropriate barrier to watch.
