PFG support and resistance levels

Price is being turned away at a ceiling near $120.01 and starting to slide. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $107.34 — about 8% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $107.34 as a target (its 38.2% retracement) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That floor is the first place the slide might steady — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $120.01 ceiling just now, when price was turned away there, but price has already pulled lower. What's left is the slide playing out, not a fresh starting point.
