sell-off and close below the 200-DMA ($50.85) that sees focus on layers of
support $48.32-49.57. Bears look for a close below $49.57 to initially pressure
the 55-DMA. Correcting studies add weight to the bearish case. Layers of
resistance are accumulating with bulls needing a close above $51.22 to gain
breathing room and above $51.77 to return focus to $52.86-53.77.
