Market Analysis for Tuesday

Friday did some technical damage to the market, the one hour chart above showing the last 20 day trading sessions has been trading in a nice price channel that was finally broken on Friday. Possible new bear channel could potentially be forming. Looks like the market is currently back testing this broken channel. Bears have a good short setup here with the 50% fib retrace as confluence.

Price levels to watch for:
