Technical Analysis
- Former $2.25 resistance now serving as key floor; upside faces $2.30-$2.301 double-top formation
- Trading activity 60% above 7-day average confirms institutional flows beyond algorithmic noise; peak volume at breakout validates $2.25 as significant technical milestone
- Ascending trend with higher lows at $2.08, $2.23, and $2.29 supports bullish structure; double-top near $2.301 suggests consolidation before potential continuation
- Clear break above $2.31 opens further upside with $2.25 support providing defined risk; current levels offer favorable risk-reward for continuation trades
