The daily chart’s market structure had a bearish bias at press time unless the price exceeded the recent high of $4.68.
The immediate hurdle was at a previous support of $4.2, followed by a daily bearish order block (OB) at $4.29 – $4.43 (red). Above these two obstacles, another roadblock existed at $4.5. The latter is a confluence of daily bearish OB (white) and 50-EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
