These all are short-term bearish signs, and as it can be seen from the chart, the price fell and traded towards $300. However, buyers managed to hold the $310 support area. At the moment, the price is recovering, and trading above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $389 high to $310 low. However, there is a major resistance forming at $355.
