PFG Support and Resistance Levels

A chance to go short showed up on the weekly chart about a week ago: price ran up to $112.23 — a level traders often watch as a target (200% of the prior move) — and has since turned back below it, the kind of rejection a short plays for.

  • What it was aiming for: a drop toward support line around $98.10 below — the first place to look for a touch and take profit.
  • What would have called it off: a weekly close back above $112.23, where the turn lower would have failed.
