Bullish scenario and bearish scenario

Bullish scenario

A break above R1 at 91.062 would open the way to R2 at 92.694, a mapped 1.63 dollars from trigger to target. A move back below the daily pivot at 89.334 would invalidate that view.

Bearish scenario

A drop through S1 at 87.702 would put S2 at 85.974 in play, 1.73 dollars from the trigger. A recovery back through the daily pivot at 89.334 would invalidate that downside map.
