-- The daily 5 minute chart is showing a possible reversal. Prices crossed over the 200 minute SMA, fell back and then moved higher again. Also note that on Friday volume increased as prices moved higher -- a healthy sign.

The issue that is really concerning me right now is the MACD's position. It is possible for the MACD to remain at high levels and essentially bounce at those levels for some time. But also remember we're at the beginning of earnings season which franklyh looks terrible right now.
