Price declined in stages over the course of the next eighteen hours. First it hit the 23.6% Fib retracement level at 17.21, price stalled for a couple hours. Then it pushed down to the 38.2% Fib level at 16.26, where again it hovered for a few more hours, before the final push down to 50% at 15.5.

Despite the minor stalls at each of the subsequent Fib levels, price was actually a smooth downwards movement, as the Awesome Oscillator confirms by way of no interruption on its bears (marked with a blue arrow).

Since the touch at 15.5, price has been wandering between 38.2% and 50%. The thing is, the Accelerator Oscillator has now turned green, and with Stochastics in oversold territory, I expect price to re-touch 38.2% later today.
