The price may test 0.540–0.544 resistance in the coming hours if buyers continue to dominate. However, a drop below 0.525 could invalidate the bullish momentum and open the door to a deeper correction. Investors should remain cautious as overbought conditions and divergences may trigger short-term profit-taking.
