following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting Minutes yesterday, price action is back to our entry point and if we consider the breakdown of the $1,833 level yesterday, it is obvious to expect a retest of this structure in anticipation of a downtrend momentum. However, is worth noting that there is a high-impact event - GDP today and this might lead to a consolidation phase around this area before any traction happens. Update coming soon

In anticipation of the GDP - secure all sell positions as the bearish trend line and $1,825 level will be our yardstick for more selling opportunities. However, a breakout/retest of both the bearish trendline and the $1,830 level will trigger a buy position. Update coming up soon
