If the 38.2% price zone is exceeded to the downside the TASI next heads towards a price zone from around 6,916 (50% retracement) to 6,710 (prior monthly support). The lower price zone is a key level as it was a low during an eleven-month consolidation zone from 2017 and is part of the larger developing uptrend begun off the October 2016 lows. Nevertheless, if exceeded to the downside the TASI next heads towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 6,540.43.
