As seen from the chart, the decline came as the RSI collided with a support of its own, at the 38.70 mark.

This landing spot has helped stabilize prices, with the earlier bleeding somewhat halted for the time being.

If we were to see this floor broken, then it is likely that bears will look to target the $1,350 level as a potential exit point.
