A sustained move over 6506.25 will signal the presence of buyers. This could create the momentum needed to challenge 6605.75, followed by a downtrending Gann angle at 6695.25 and a Fib level at 6710.00. Since the main trend is down, sellers could come in on a test of these levels.
A sustained move under 6506.25 will indicate the presence of sellers. This could drive the index into 6440.75. This price is a possible trigger point for an acceleration to the downside with a potential target coming in at 6343.25.
Crossing to the weak side of 6343.25 will signal that the selling is getting stronger. This could trigger the start of a steep break with 6164.00 the next major target.
