*COMMENTARY: Topside follow through is lacking which is a concern for bulls

given the significance of the $80.07-50 resistance region and daily studies

correcting from O/B. Bears now look for a close below $76.11 to confirm breaks

of 21 & 55-DMAs, shifting initial focus to $71.12-72.11 where the 100-DMA

($72.04) is situated. Bulls still need a close above $80.50 to reconfirm a

bullish bias and target $87.94 last seen in Oct 2014.
