The hourly chart shows that the price is caught up high with longs form last week still in the trend. This leaves scope for a move lower while on the front side of overhead dynamic support and on the backside of the prior bullish trendline. 

A break of the support opens the risk of a move to the $77.00 area again and guards a move towards $76.00 for the days ahead. On a break of resistance, however, the bulls will be back in the game as per the daily chart:
