Price
The market showed a dip to the 7300.0 yesterday, but it was quickly picked up, and the price returned back to the 7500.0 level. Average trading volumes of last three days are gradually uptrending, though the growth is not drastic the important at least hold on one level. Breakthrough of the 7600.0 resistance is required to continue bullish movement. Two rising days formed a Bullish Trend Line, which will serve as a support for the uptrend. Next big resistance on the way up will be 8000.0 level. Breakthrough below the Trend Line and further dive under 7200.0 level will dismiss a rising scenario.

Today forecast
Trading in the 7500.0 – 8000.0 zone. The upward impulse to 8000.0 is possible.
