The trend line is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $66,600 swing low to the $68,240 high.

The next key resistance could be $68,800. The next major hurdle sits at $69,200. A close above the $69,200 resistance might push the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $70,000 resistance.
