Buyers continue to demonstrate strength on the chart. The recent correction was quickly and fully recovered to resume the upward trend without major issues. The price returned above the lower boundary of the upward trend channel and is currently approaching the vicinity of the last ATH, which is currently the only obvious resistance for the price. In the event of a slowdown in growth and/or declines, it is highly likely to transition into a consolidation where the boundaries are between the last ATH and strong support around 6300 dollars.
