The MUSQ Chart: MUSQ has been trading in a tight horizontal trading pattern between about $24.10 and $25.36 since Dec. 23. Since March 5, bullish momentum has been increasing, which is indicated by the ETF's relative strength index (RSI), which has been making a series of higher highs and higher lows.

• On Thursday, MUSQ was working to print an inside bar pattern on the daily chart. The pattern leans bullish in this case because the ETF formed a bullish Marubozu candlestick on Wednesday and because Thursday's inside bar was being formed near the top of Wednesday's range.
• MUSQ is also trading in an uptrend, making a series of higher highs and higher lows in line with the fund's RSI. The most recent higher high was formed on Wednesday at $25.17 and the most recent lower low was printed at the $24.76 mark on Tuesday.
• Bullish traders want to see big bullish volume come in and break MUSQ up from Wednesday's mother bar and then for the ETF to continue upward, breaking out above the $25.40 mark. Bearish traders want to see big bearish volume come in and drop the ETF under Tuesday's low-of-day, which would negate the uptrend and possibly accelerate downside pressure.
• MUSQ has resistance above at $25.36 and at $25.76 and support below at $24.78 and at $24.34.
