However, the price was not able to move above $1,300 and started a downside move. A low was formed $1,118 from where a minor upside correction was initiated.

It moved above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $1,617 high to $1,118 low. However, the upside move faced sellers near $1,300 and the 100 simple moving average (4-hour).
