highs of the trading session. Prices recapture resistance, which is now
support near the 50-day moving average at 2.77. Resistance is seen near
the late November highs near 2.98. Medium-term momentum remains positive
as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) histogram prints in
the black with an upward sloping trajectory which points to higher
prices. The RSI also broke out hitting the highest level since October
which reflects accelerating positive momentum.
