Wait for the weekly candle to close.

What is the Best Way to Trade This Break and Retest?

My preferred bullish case requires the price to violently break the daily resistance. After that breakout happens, you must watch for a successful retest of the 4535.542 - 4497.357 zone to confirm the newly found support. Once that floor holds, we target the 4653.077 level for maximum profit.
