We’ve no prior value ranges to concentrate on, so any ranges we do give you utilizing technical evaluation shall be extra theoretical than sensible. Utilizing Fibonacci extensions from the latest pullbacks, nonetheless, we will see that $131,000 might act as a little bit of a barrier if this breakout continues. Above there, we’ve got some minor confluence at $135,000 and once more at $140,000.
