However, the price seems to be facing a tough resistance near the $7,150 and $7,160 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $7,590 high to $6,733 low is also acting as a resistance. A clear break above the $7,160 level may open the doors for a fresh increase above $7,200 and $7,250 in the near term.
