The RSI is bullish and not yet in overbought territory suggesting that there could be more upside on the cards and a test of the key $50 level.
After $50 resistance there is little in the way until $52.50 a level last seen 24th Feb.
Failure to break through $50 could see immediate support at $49.28 (Dec high) come into play prior to $48.65 descending trend line support and $47.80 to negate the current uptrend.
