Finally, there was an upside break, but there was no momentum above the $300 level. The price traded to a new intraday high near $304 and settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
It is currently correcting gains and is trading near the $300 level. The 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $290 swing low to $304 high is also near the $300 level.

Below the trend line, the next key support is near the $295 level. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $290 swing low to $304 high is also near the $295 level. Finally, the 100 hourly SMA is likely to act as a strong support near $295. As long as there is no close below $295 and the 100 hourly SMA, there are chances of more upsides in the near term.
