#### **Technical Indicator Signal**
- **Bullish Signal**:
- The daily line breaks the descending trend line (extended from the November 2024 high), forming a bullish structure of "higher highs and higher lows."
- The 4-hour Bollinger Bands are widening, the price is stabilizing above the middle band, and the MACD shows a golden cross with expanding histogram.
- **Risk Warning**: The 30-minute RSI is at 65.1 (not overbought), but if it pulls back and falls below $2,972, it may test the $2,814 support.

### ⚠️ 4. **Short-term Risk Warning**
