As such, support is seen at $45 and resistance at $55.
Nevertheless, the setup resembles a bullish flag pattern. The market takes time and "builds energy" during the flag's formation for the eventual breakout.
Bulls may want to see a move above $50, and a daily close above $55 signals the end of the bullish pattern.
