Given the above-mentioned breach, next support will be eyed at the $31.00 figure. Further south, a drop below $30 would likely come into play if the previous area does not hold, some demand is seen between $29-28. Lastly, the start of the week’s upside trend levels, seen mid $26 region, could then come under threat.
