SponsoredReversal Areas
To determine possible price levels following an increase, we incorporate resistance areas into the analysis.
The first resistance area is located near $171. The second one is found near $1177. If the price begins to increase, it is likely it will reach at least one of these areas. We believe this scenario is likely.
The closest support area is found near $156. If the price keeps decreasing at the rate predicted by the support line, it is likely to reach this area. Price may drop toward $156 before a rise toward the resistance areas.
