The price has come off and looks back toward the 100 day MA for a retest. That level is a key barometer for both the bulls and the bears. A move below will be a tilt for the bears. Staying above, should give the bulls/buyers more upside confidence (as long as it remains above).

The fact is the bulls/buyers have made a play above the 100 day MA today. Can they keep that bias switch off the key daily moving average in their favor on the test. Look for buyers to lean against the level with stops if the price starts to trade comfortably below that moving average level..
