*COMMENTARY: The recovery from the dip back to $2.0689 stalled ahead of the

$2.2421 resistance and dipped below the 21-DMA Tuesday. Bears look for a close

below $2.1255 to confirm breaks of 21 & 55 ($2.1679) DMAs and to shift focus

back to $2.0689-1018 where the bull channel base off Feb lows and the 100-DMA

($2.0701) are situated. Bulls need a close above $2.2196 to gain breathing room

and above $2.2421 to return focus to 2018 highs.
