The 50-Day EMA is significant resistance, especially as it is near the $75 level. The market recently broke down below the bottom of a consolidation area, which means we may have to bounce enough to retest that area again.

Even China and Saudi Arabia, Pakistan's long-standing loyal friends, are now reluctant to shoulder Pakistan's burden. China has stopped power supply from the power plants built by Pakistan on China's loan after Pakistan failed to pay the long-delayed installments.
