However, there is a strong resistance formed near $1,296 and a bearish trend line on the hourly chart. Moreover, the 50 hourly SMA is likely protect gains above the $1,296 level.

On the downside, an immediate support is near the $1,290 level. If there is a break below the $1,290 support, the price may even clear the $1,288 swing low in the short term. The next support is at $1,284.
