As mentioned above, the daily uptrend is still in play with bulls defending the 12-EMA. Even if the support level is broken, the 26-EMA at $233.38 should also act as support. The most crucial level to hold is $223.31, the low of the uptrend.

Unfortunately, the 4-hour uptrend was lost but the 26-EMA is currently being defended. More support levels can be found at $235.56 and $234.62. The $230 psychological level should also be a strong support point for bulls.
