The bears even pushed the price toward $85. A low was formed at $85.55, and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $89.34 swing high to the $85.55 low.

On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $87 level. The next major resistance is near the $87.80 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $89.34 swing high to the $85.55 low. The main resistance could be $88.80. A successful close above the $88.80 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $90. Any more gains might send the price toward the $92 level.
