The 21-day RSI is approaching the top end of its range but its trend remains upwards, and there are no signs of negative divergence yet. Short term stochastics also continues to rise. ADX is rising. However, +DI has flattened, a sign that a temporary pause in the uptrend is likely.

Any retreat is likely to meet with support at 3,225 to 3,226. When the upclimb resumes, resistance appears at 3,380.

The chart pattern has the appearance of a textbook base formation. Whether prices can fulfil their potential remains to be seen. Prices are forming a double bottom, with the neckline resistance at US$5.72.

A successful breakout should materialise, following a strengthening by quarterly momentum. If momentum breaks above its own resistance and equilibrium line, a price breakout by the stock is likely.

A successful breakout indicates a target of US$6.36. Support is at the flattening 50-day moving average at US$5.56.
