Chart

A swing high was formed at $64.60 and the price is currently consolidating gains. An initial support is at $64.40 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $63.70 low to $64.60 high.

It seems like dips remain supported near the $64.40 and $64.20 levels. On the upside, a break above the $64.60 and $64.65 resistance levels may push the price towards the $65.00 resistance in the near term.
