Daily Pivots: (S1) 157.70; (P) 159.71; (R1) 160.72;

The breach of 158.42 support suggests that rebound from 154.70 is completed at 164.09. And, fall from there is resuming. Intraday bias is mildly on the downside for retesting 154.70 first. On the upside, above 162.56 resistance would probably extend the rise from 154.70. But in that case, we'd expect strong resistance above 61.8% retracement of 175.01 to 154.70 at 167.25 to limit upside and bring down trend resumption.

In the bigger picture, a medium term top was formed at 195.86 on bearish divergence condition in weekly MACD. Fall from 195.86 is currently viewed as a correction and would likely extend to 61.8% retracement of 116.83 to 195.86 at 147.01 before completion. On the upside, break of 175.01 resistance is needed to indicate completion of fall from 195.86. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish in case of rebound.
