It is now facing a strong resistance near the $652 level. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $676 high to $628 swing low seems to be acting as a major resistance.
A clear break above the $652 resistance level could open the doors for a fresh rally. The next major resistance is near the $658 level, followed by $675. Any more upsides may possibly call for a test of the $700 level.
