The first key resistance is near the $81,500 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $83,680 swing high to the $74,409 low. The next key resistance could be $82,500. A close above the $82,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $83,500 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $85,000 level.
