Drilling to the hourly chart below, the low prices on Wednesday and again on Tuesday stalled right near its 100 hour moving average (blue line in the chart below). That kept the buyers in control, and helped to push the price back toward the 50% midpoint on the daily chart near $1876. The move up to that level initially found some stall, but once the level was broken with momentum, the sellers gave up in the buyers took over.
