A look south revealed the bullish strength at the $1.16 support level. Earlier in July, bulls had rallied strongly from the support level to a Q3 high of $1.8. Thus, the price rebound off this level could see another strong bullish rally.

However, bulls will have to contend with two near-term obstacles. If buyers can cross the bearish low hurdle at $1.3, more gains can be achieved by flipping the $1.41 resistance level to support.

Meanwhile, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) highlighted growing buying pressure by moving above the neutral level with a reading of 56. Also, the OBV (On Balance Volume) displayed steady trading volume which could aid the bullish momentum.
