Summary

The daily close above the 200dma should be seen as something of a bonus today.

Seen on the bigger weekly cycle, price action has been increasingly tight since February.

Price structure is arguably a large bull flag. It will be provisionally confirmed with a break >24.30, the $25.80s (above the Feb' high) would make it decisive.

yours truly remains leaning bullish the metals (especially Gold), and the related mining stocks.
