askSlim Technical Briefing:
The daily cycle analysis suggests that FB has broken below a key cycle low support at 222.88.
Daily momentum is now neutral. The next short-term low is due between 7/7 – 7/15.
On the upside, there are short-term Fibonacci resistances from 221.65 – 230.64.
On the downside, there are intermediate-term Fibonacci supports from 203.90 – 191.14.
For the bulls to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would need to see a daily close back over 237.04.
