Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 72, above 70, which is overbought: buyers have been very aggressive and a pause or pullback is common from here.

The price is above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of an uptrend.
Volume is only 0.1x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
