The price on the chart briefly broke the resistance around, 24500 but quickly returned below, which is a sign of weakness among buyers after recent increases. A likely scenario is consolidation along the line of the short-term downward trend and another attempt to test the resistance. If the price breaks through the short and medium-term trend lines, the next support for it will only be the FIBO 23.6 level.
