Bearish Levels to Watch

• 1.248: Today’s developing Value Area Low (VAL). Price seems intent on breaking below this level, signaling further bearish momentum toward 1.246.
• 1.2493: Today’s Point of Control (POC), where significant trading volume is concentrated.
• 1.2498 and 1.2504: Both previous naked levels that could act as minor resistance if price retraces.
• 1.2506: Today’s developing VWAP, the critical line in the sand between bulls and bears. As long as price remains below this level, the bearish outlook dominates.
