These resistances are identified respectively as the 38.2 percent and the 50 percent Fibonacci projection levels of an upward wave c, the third wave of a presumed three-wave cycle from the Aug. 16 low of 2,608 ringgit. This wave could at least travel to 2,811 ringgit, its 61.8 percent projection level.
A Fibonacci retracement analysis on the downtrend from the Dec. 19, 2016 high of 2,993 ringgit to the May 31 low of 2,380 ringgit shows that the contract may break above the resistance at 2,759 ringgit and then rise towards 2,848 ringgit - the 76.4 percent level.
