*COMMENTARY: Failure to gain traction below the 55-DMA has seen the contract

bounce back towards $2.1917. Bulls need a close above to gain breathing room and

above $2.2467 to return immediate focus to 2018 highs. Correcting O/B studies

are a concern for bears and add support to the bullish case. Bears look for a

close below $2.1541 to ease renewed bullish pressure and below $2.0774 to

confirm traction below the 55-DMA and to shift immediate focus to $2.0344-0458.
