• The steady recovery has been along a short-term ascending trend-channel on the 1-hourly chart and was supported by some short-covering amid oversold conditions.
• Given the recent sharp rejection slide from the very important 200-day SMA, the mentioned channel constitutes towards the formation of a bearish continuation flag chart pattern.
