Looking at the chart, the price was rejected from the $84.00 resistance zone. More importantly, the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $99.80 high to $73.40 low acted as a resistance.

Therefore, the price may perhaps continue to move down towards $74 and $73. A downside break below the last low of $73.41 could push the price to a new low. It could test the 1.236 Fib extension level of the last wave from the $73.41 low to $84.10 high.
