The price action remains constructive, consolidating in a tight range beneath the <strong>$4,381.32<\/strong> peak set in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-term moving averages (5, 10, 30-day) continue to slope upward in bullish alignment, and recent daily closes above <strong>$4,270<\/strong> suggest underlying buying pressure remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/image-19-1024x448.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36685\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MACD histogram has flipped back to green, with the signal lines narrowing \u2014 a sign of potentially resurgent bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Support sits near <strong>$4,200<\/strong>, with deeper protection around <strong>$4,050<\/strong>, while resistance is capped at the all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A decisive breakout above <strong>$4,300<\/strong> could pave the way for a move toward the <strong>$4,450\u2013$4,500<\/strong> zone.
