Unfortunately, the cap at $22.80 is providing significant resistance.

The 50SMA is another support line at $22.13 while the stronger support lies at $21.40.
The trend is still favoring the bulls with the MACD moving further north towards +0.25. The price is exchanging above the moving averages on the hour chart. If a break above $22.80 occurs, the buyers could get a boost above $23.00 and eventually test $25.00.
