We just moved to a new session high and in the process scooted to the 50% retracement of the same move higher at 122.05. The price just reached 122.083.

Risk for longs is now at the 200 hour MA. Stay above and the bulls are firmly in control. Move below, and there may be some more profit taking into the weekend.
