https://www.tradingview.com/x/8hexcmit/

Analysing the market from the medium term perspective above, we can see that Neo has descended below all of our expected support price levels. During August, Neo had experienced a particularly rough time as the market dropped below the support expected at the $20 handle to trade to a low close to $14.
We can see that price action continued to fall in August 2018 until finding support at a short term downside 1.414 Fibonacci Extension level priced at $14.033. The market had found support at this area and reversed.
We can see that price action is now trading at support identified by a downside 1.618 FIbonacci Extension level (drawn in blue) priced at $16.60. If the bearish action continues, we can expect the market to be supported at the $16.60 handle.
If price action continues even further lower, then support can be expected at the psychological round number handle of $16 followed by the short term downside 1.414 Fibonacci Extension level priced at $14.033. Further support below this can then be expected at September 2017 lows at $13.31.
ALternatively, if the bulls can regather momentum at this support level, we expect immediate resistance to be located at the downside 1.272 Fibonacci Extension level priced at $18.47. If the bulls can push up above this level then we expect further resistance to then be located at the .886 Fibonacci Retracement handle priced at $23.05.
The technical indicators within the market are currently favouring the bears at this moment in time. The RSI is trading below the 50 handle, indicating that the bears are still in control of the momentum within the market which means it could still be heading lower.
