The current technical view reveals a strong case of FOMO. The previous six daily closes landed all above the upside Bollinger band, the 14 day relative strength index is at an overbought level of 77% and the choppiness index is at an extreme low level of 29. A phase of bullish exhaustion could well be close at hand.
