At the outset, the price seems to be preparing for the next move and trading inside a contracting triangle with resistance near the $143 level. A successful break above the $143 and $144 levels could open the doors for another increase.

The next stop for the bulls could be near the $150 level, above which the price is likely to test the $155 level in the near term.

Limited Downsides
