Market outlook

Price is testing the 0.618 Resistance Arc, where continued buying pressure could result in a breakout toward the next Resistance Arc. A sustained breakout above the Resistance Arc would support continued movement toward the next Resistance Arc (0.786 Arc).

Conversely, failure to achieve a sustained 2h close above the Resistance Arc would invalidate the bullish scenario and could shift the outlook toward the next Support Arc.
