If momentum continues, price may extend toward the 0.618 Arc near 4,082, and the false breakout at the 1 (100%) Arc on the second chart supports this upside view. However, no signal has been confirmed yet, and the preferred approach is to await a clear reaction at the Arc levels before anticipating the next move.
