The price remains pressured below the 200-EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $3,195. Thus make $3,200 a crucial level to trade. The volumes support every time the price bounces from the support level.

Furthermore, the price faces rejection at $3,200 on January 20 and February 10. A renewed buying pressure will push the price toward $3,600.

An extended buying pressure will bring the horizontal $4,000 into play.

On the flip side, a rejection near the session’s high will revert back the price to the immediate support placed near $2,700.
