According to the 30M time frame and using the market profile, I found yesterday's point of control at the price of $1,148.00. Besides, there is a buying climax in the background, but the price broke that climax bar high, which is a sign that strength is still present. My advice is to watch for a potential breakout of supply trend line to confirm further upward continuation. I placed Fibonacci expansion to find potential upward targets.
