The Flipside: Can the bears take back control?

The sellers can change this bearish outlook by ensuring that the 200-day SMA doesn’t flip from resistance to support. If Dash fails to break above this level, it can drop down to $73. As per the IOMAP, there are healthy support walls at $73, 50-day SMA ($70.50) and $68, which should absorb a considerable amount of selling pressure.

Key price levels to watch

The buyers' key levels are the 200-day SMA ($76.30) and 100-day SMA ($77.50). They will need to break above them and aim for the $80 barrier.

On the other hand, the bears are severely limited by three strong support walls at $73, 50-day SMA ($70.50) and $68.
