At press time, the bullish momentum was evident with multiple indicators flashing bullish signals.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossed the neutral 50 and surged toward the overbought zone to highlight the strong buying pressure. In a similar fashion, the On Balance Volume (OBV) produced a decent uptick while the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) remained above zero to signal good capital inflows.
The mix of the bullish price action and positive indicators suggested more gains were likely in the short term for FIL. However, the $3.5 hurdle needs to be cleared, as this resistance level has rebuffed previous bullish rallies.
If bulls are able to scale this resistance level, further gains can be reached at $3.8 to $4. Otherwise, a price rejection at $3.5 will extend the range-bound price movement.
Positive funding rates revealed a bullish bias in the futures market
