Their breakdown will be a confirmation signal for the resumption of purchases.

In an alternative scenario, a breakdown of the local support level 4305.0 may provoke a deeper correction to the support level 4245.0 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart). Its breakdown, in turn, will be a signal for a further decline to support levels 4130.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart and the lower border of the ascending channel on the weekly chart), 4040.0. The first signal for the implementation of this scenario may be a breakdown of the local support level 4365.0.

Nevertheless, in the current situation, long positions are still preferred.

Support levels: 4365.0, 4300.0, 4245.0, 4130.0, 4040.0

Resistance levels: 4430.0, 4447.0, 4454.0, 4485.0, 4545.0
