The price has subsequently rallied towards the neckline of the M-formation following the bullish candlestick pattern with the doji followed by the bullish engulfing candle. However, there has been a strong rejection, and the bulls will want to see the daily candle close higher than the prior days in order to add conviction to the upside thesis. That being said, so long as the week closes in the green, there will be prospects of a bullish continuation for next week.
