The next resistance is $2.240 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.335 swing high to the $2.145 low. A clear move above the $2.240 resistance might send the price toward the $2.280 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.320 resistance or even $2.350 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.40.
