*COMMENTARY: Support emerging on dips back to $47.68-48.38 is a concern for
bears who now look for a close below the 21-DMA ($47.68) to confirm an easing of
bullish pressure and below the 55-DMA ($47.01) to hint at a move back to $42.28
with below $45.16 to confirm. Layers of resistance $50.10-51.20 remain key.
Bulls need a close above the 200-DMA to confirm a bullish bias and shift
immediate focus to May highs ($52.63).
