Price has recently traded below the 50-day EMA, strengthening a bearish set-up that highlights potential for a deeper correction. Scope is seen for a move to $76.07, the Mar 11 low. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at $86.97, the Apr 12 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is at $84.46, the Apr 26 high.
