HO sold off sharply Friday. This has seen prices slip back into the broad range

that has been in place for just over a month. Last weeks focus was on a possible

bullish breakout. For this to return, prices will need to gradually reclaim

territory lost Friday and move towards $1.9600. The key resistance is at

$1.9716, Nov 27 high, a break would confirm a bullish range breakout. Weakness

below Friday's low of $1.8750 would instead expose $1.8441.
