A series of bullish clues in trading on Monday
  1. The swing low on Monday stalled right at a lower trend line and bounced (trendline is at $1415.52 currently)
  2. The price moved above the 100 hour moving average (blue line) at $1420.83
  3. The price moved above the 200 hour moving average (greenline) at $1424.05
  4. The price moved above a top side trendline at the same $1424.05 area

Those moves, tilts the bias more to the upside (more bullish). It will now take a move back below the trend line and the 200 hour moving average at the $1424.05 level to give the buyers some cause for concern.

Absent that (and a further extension below the 100 hour moving average - blue line) and the buyers are in firm control, with the high from July 25 at $1433.84 as the next target followed by swing highs from June 25 and July 3 at the $1437.88-$1439.21 area.
