   “¢   The up-move marked a convincing breakthrough a two-week-old descending trend-line hurdle and thus, increases prospects for additional gains.

   “¢   Move back above 200-day SMA adds credence to the constructive outlook, albeit overbought conditions on the 1-hourly chart warrant some consolidation.  

   “¢   Moreover, the bullish momentum needs to take out another ascending trend-line hurdle before traders start positioning for any further near-term up-move.
