It seems like the price is finding support near the $145 level. The next key support is between $143 and $144. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $139 low to $148 high is also near the $143.50 level.

If there is a downside break below the $142 support, the price could start a downside extension towards the $138 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The main support is near the $135 level, where the bulls are likely to take a stand. Any further losses may perhaps start a fresh decline towards the $128 support.
