Range trading between 87.79 and 90.24 would likely be seen in a couple of days. As long as 87.79 support holds, the uptrend could be expected to resume after consolidation, and a break above 90.24 could  signal resumption of the uptrend. On the downside, a breakdown below 87.79 support will suggest that the uptrend from 82.11 has completed at 90.24 already, then deeper decline to 86.00-87.00 area is possible.
