Since that high print, the OIH has sold off a bit and is now trading lower by 0.01 to $40.90 a share on the session. This is a sharp intra-day fade considering the light trading volume today in the market indexes. The OIH will have short term, intra-day support around the $40.82, $40.73 and $40.57 levels.
