A successful close above the $228 resistance level could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $235. Any more gains might send the price toward the $250 level.

A break below the $205 level might send the price toward the $200 zone. If there is a close below the $200 support, the price could decline toward the $188 support in the near term.
