week now sees the contract gaining traction above the 100-DMA ($48.63) and focus

now on $50.71-51.33. The daily bear channel top and 200-DMA are noted in this

region. The $47.43-48.25 support region is key. Bears need a close below to

shift focus back to 21 & 55-DMAs $46.71-47.08. Below the 21-DMA is needed to

pressure $45.16-45.52 where the bull channel base is found.
