Price Charts and Technical Analysis

A strong bullish weekly candle would certainly help. For instance, a bullish close near the high could signal that the bulls remain in control at the close of the week. A weekly candle should also have decent volatility and size. So far, the candle is medium sized. Another confirmation could be 2 bullish weekly candles in a row. A massive sell of and wick on the weekly candle could otherwise indicate a false breakout. 

Currently, the uptrend is in full alignment. Price is above the 21 ema zone, which is above long-term MAs (144-233-610). A bullish breakout and continuation is expected at the moment. This could create a wave 3 (light purple) after price completed waves 1-2.

On the 4 hour chart, price needs to develop a bull flag to confirm the bullish outlook. Price remains in clear bullish territory if price action remains above the 50% Fib. A break below the 38.2-50% indicates a deeper retracement. A break below the bottom could indicate a massive false breakout and a return to a consolidation mode.
