The channel resistance is near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $235 swing high to $226 low. Therefore, the price is likely to face a strong selling interest near the $232 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
On the downside, the main support is seen near the $225 level. If the price fails to stay above the $225 support, there is a risk of a larger decline towards the $218 and $215 levels in the near term.
