At the time of writing, bullish momentum was clearly visible with multiple indicators showing bullish signals.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossed the neutral 50 and rose towards the overbought zone to highlight strong buying pressure. Similarly, On Balance Volume (OBV) saw a decent increase while Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) remained above zero, indicating good capital inflows.
The mix of the bullish price action and positive indicators suggested that more gains for FIL were likely in the near term. However, the $3.5 hurdle must be cleared as this resistance level has rejected previous bullish rallies.
If bulls can scale this resistance level, further gains could be achieved from $3.8 to $4. Otherwise, a price rejection at $3.5 will extend the price move within the range.
