Although lower, the lowest price for the day was reached in the European morning session at $65,982.95 (just below the $66,000 level). Moving below that level, would have traders targeting the 38.2% retracement of the move up from low on November 6 at $65,621. Below that is the rising 100 hour moving average at $65,329 (and moving higher).
