Technically, the price traded above and below its 100 and 200 hour MA as traders. The high fell short of the $54.25 level that was a ceiling area last week. The 100 hour MA is at $52.86. A move below it would tilt the bias more to the downside. Holding and moving above the 200 hour MA at $53.2 would be more bullish.
