07:45 GMT - Rejection from the 184.00/184.45 resistance has seen steep drop to retest the 178.53/178.00 support and 200-day MA.

Break will see deeper pullback to retrace the Jan/Nov rally towards 176.30/175.90, July low and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. Meanwhile, resistance is now lowered to the 182.00 leveland . Only above this will see room to the strong resistance at the 184.00/184.45 area. Lower high sought to further pressure the downside later with support starting at 180.00 then the 178.53/178.00 area.
