Prices dropped hard in the morning, then rallied into the 20 minute SMA. Prices moved to the 81 level and then rallied hard. Note the increased volume on the rally. Prices moved just above the 200 minute SMA and then retreated, but rallied again into the 200 day SMA.

This is what a reversal looks like. Note the intra-day turnaround, the increasing volume on the rally and then the close on higher volume. That's a big move.
