That could have been one of the reasons for a continued drop vs fiat currencies, such as the USD. As for the USD – retail sales should be the main news on Monday.

If the price retraces to the POC zone (202-211), we could see ‘now moment’ sellers waiting for the next bearish wave move, and the price could drop again. Targets are 176.43, 157.47, and 131.24. Any spike or close above R1 – 221.62 and the bulls might regain control.
