The confirmation of a breakout above $40 might lead to a rapid impulse that could break ATH. However, the volume needs to be strong.

The second resistance zone was between $43.50 -$45. Clean flip of $40 into support could speed up the momentum and get a price found.

In the other wing, any close below $30 would undermine the bullish formation change the structure towards a bearish inclination. At that, downside exposure may spread up to the $28-27 area.
