A new weekly low was formed at $3,338 and the price settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average. Later, the price started consolidating gains and corrected above the $3,350 level. There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $3,445 swing high to $3,338 low. However, the upward move was capped by the $3,375 resistance levels.
Besides, there are many hurdles for buyers near the $3,400 and $3,420 levels.
