This is a rather busy monthly chart.
The negatives:
Price action has broken down from the recent declining channel indicating intensification of sell off
Monthly technicals have not yet fully unwound
A weekly closing below the first Fibo would suggest a run towards the second Fibo
The positives

There is strong rising support currently situated at the 20000 level (top to top line)
There is rising support represented by the bottom of the rising channel that starts in 2009
We are a long way from being able to declare an inversion in trend
