The price is approaching a previously retested resistance level.
๐ Short-Term Outlook:
๐ด Bearish Scenario (More Likely If Rejection at 3345 Continues):

Watch for a bearish candlestick (e.g., shooting star, bearish engulfing) near the 3345 resistance as confirmation.
๐ข Bullish Scenario (If Price Breaks Above 3345):
A clean breakout above 3345 with volume may push the price towards 3355โ3360.
Confirmation would be a bullish candle close above 3345 on volume.
๐ Short-Term Strategy:

Buy only above 3345 after breakout and retest, targeting 3355.
