Key Observations:
Trend Direction:
The price has been in a strong uptrend since late 2024.
It is currently near the upper boundary of the ascending channel.
Liquidity & Market Structure:
INT.LQ (Internal Liquidity): This suggests an area where liquidity is expected to be taken before a potential move.
MB Unfilled (Market Balances Unfilled): These indicate inefficiencies in price movement that the market may revisit.
