Recently, the same pattern has been followed by the price. It has given the breakdown of the level of $102.83 and has approached the $102.83 level to retest it. Currently, the price is sustaining above the gap which has not been filled yet.

Thus, it may fill the gap and can fall to its support at $85.00.

The price could only be seen in bullish sentiment if it closes above the 100 and 200 EMAs and reclaims the $102.83 level. Then only it may rise to its next resistance at $114.98.
