Highs and Lows:
Higher High (HH): The highest point reached before the price entered the descending channel, indicating a peak in bullish momentum.
Lower High (LH): The lower high within the descending channel, showing the continuation of the bearish trend.

Support/Resistance Retest: The price recently tested the resistance level at 2474.9 within the 4HR LQZ and pulled back slightly, indicating the presence of sellers at this level.
Potential Breakout: The price is attempting to break above the descending channel and the 4HR LQZ, which could signal a reversal of the downtrend if confirmed by sustained buying pressure.
