There was a minor dip below the $105.00 level. The price even traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $78.88 swing low to $112.76 high. However, the price is finding a strong support near the $100.00 level.
The next major support is near the $95.00 zone. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $78.88 swing low to $112.76 high.
