Failure to clear $69,250 could trigger a pullback toward $68,800 and then $68,500. A deeper decline would expose the $67,500 zone, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent upward move.
Below that, $67,000 serves as near-term support.
The main floor sits at $66,500, and a break below that level would put bulls in a difficult position.
The hourly MACD is gaining momentum in bullish territory, while the RSI remains above 50 — both suggesting the uptrend still has room to run.
