Our pivot point is at 159.29.

Our preference: The downside prevails as long as 159.29 is resistance, with 157.81 and 157.61 as targets

Alternative scenario: above 159.29, look for 159.62 and 159.82.

Comment: With prices nearing our first target, a pullback may emerge, though a clean break below could accelerate the downside.
