From a purely technical aspect, a price move like this is rarely reversed in a short amount of time and it usually leads to more downside to come. As you can see on the price chart above, the $62 level has been broken decisively.
The next price level to watch comes in around $52.

There is additional confluence in the mid to lower $50's as well. As $53.29 was the 2000 bull market high and $54.36 is the 2008 bull market high. So between $52-$54 (if it gets there) may be enough support to halt the decline.
