   “¢   Meanwhile, the recent upsurge over the past four weeks has been along a short-term ascending trend-channel and the price action reaffirms last week’s bullish breakout.

   “¢   Bullish technical indicators on the daily chart are still far from being in the oversold territory and thus, support prospects for an extension of the bullish momentum.  

   “¢   The up-move, however, is likely to take a brief pause near the trend-channel resistance, currently near the $1270 region, amid year-end thin liquidity conditions.
