132
Strong Bullish Signal:
The price corrected down after the formation of the new resistance level, but the drop was smooth and on the small volume, so we may reckon it as a technical correction. Moreover, given the presence of the strong uptrend, we still may give preference to long positions.
Volume Zones:
It is necessary to point out the new volume level of resistance/local maximum 1322.80.
Sentiment:
This indicator shows that 67% retails traders are in short positions, which is a good additional signal for us (trading against the "crowd").

Consider Short Positions:
Given all these factors, we still may prefer a scenario of opening long positions. We can enter the market after a resumption of the sharp growth and confident breakout of the new resistance. The rise must be supported by the large volume, which will be a more accurate signal for entering the market. A stop loss may be placed below the breakout volume bar.
Profit Potential:
More than 150 pips.
