ZECUSD Short-term Trend: Bearish

The overall trend is bearish. However, on January 30, 2018 the market retraced at a price of $360 to $400 and breached at Fib retracement level of 38.2. In a downtrend, it is expected that if price retraces from the low, it will encounter resistance at one of the Fib retracement levels which will give traders the opportunity to short.

The principle behind price action is that if an exhaustive candlestick forms above or below a Fib retracement level, it gives you a confirmation that the level will hold for some time. However, traders can short at Fib retracement level in view of the bearish outlook.
