After the price reversal from the MACD indicator line on March 23 (red arrow), the price continued to rise in the growing green price channel starting on March 23, 2020. The first growth target is the level of 59.75. The measured movement of February 5-March 9, marked with an azure line, and roughly corresponding to other growing branches of the current price channel, gives us the second target of 61.60.

The Marlin oscillator is turning up near the border with the bears' territory. Marlin has a large free distance ahead, which also speaks of promising growing movement.

On the weekly chart, there are three branches of growth with increasing speed. At the end of the third such branch, as a rule, there is either a deep correction or a market reversal. The formed divergence of the price with the Marlin oscillator indicates a high probability of the end of the third branch in the concept of three increasing speeds with a reversal.

The daily chart also shows a divergence. Opening a short position from the current levels significantly reduces the risk/profit ratio. The first target of the new downward movement is the March 16 low at 29.28. It is followed by the March 5 low at 27.40. The third target is the level of peaks from February 22 and January 14 at 25.45.
