The immediate focus rests on whether buyers can defend the channel's lower ascending boundary between 156.60 and 156.70. A confirmed bounce off this dynamic support would offer an opportunity for bulls to retest the 157.40 resistance zone and possibly push back toward 158.00. Conversely, a decisive 1-hour close below 156.60 would signal a technical breakdown of the ascending channel, likely exposing lower horizontal support shelves at 156.00 and 155.40.
