The first major resistance is near the $91,000 level. The next resistance could be $91,350 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $95,475 swing high to the $87,200 low. A break above the $91,350 resistance could push the price higher. If indicated, the price could move higher and test the $93,000 resistance.
