Monthly chart

The monthly chart shows that the price has stalled and started to correct putting the prior resistances in view.

This puts the 50% ad 61.8% Fibonacci retracements in focus. 

Weekly chart

The weekly chart is under pressure and has formed a resistance structure. 

Daily chart

The price may still have some room to the upside at this juncture to fully test the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the bearish impulse that aligns with the body of the prior resistance candle.
