Steep ascend extends into second consecutive day, with daily close above $3400 zone (psychological / Fibo 76.4% of $3452/$3246) to generate fresh bullish signal, which will be validated on sustained break above $3420 that would unmask $3452 (June 16 top).
Meanwhile, corrective dips should be anticipated on strongly overbought hourly studies and expected to provide better levels to re-enter bullish market.
