Live market, daily chart
Live market, hourly chart
The hourly conditions are highly bullish with the 10 SMA crossing up the 21 SMA and MACD turning positive, albeit lagging the recent rally in the price to resistance.
Therefore, a pullback can be expected to test prior resistance and the confluence of the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
If the bulls commit at that juncture, then an advance to the neckline of the daily chart’s M-formation is a high probability to complete a 50% mean reversion of the latest bearish leg.
