On the other hand, the relative strength index depicts a significant increase in buying volume in the last 24 hours. This is because altcoin saw a more than 10% surge in trading volume. As a result, it resumed its uptrend at 58. This reading places the bulls at an advantage.

In response, the moving average convergence divergence continued its uptrend. At the time of writing, the space between the 12-day EMA and the 26-day EMA is at its highest since the bullish divergence. Nonetheless, this streak fluttered during the previous intraday session.

With price trends favoring the bears, the bulls will look to stage defenses at several levels. It is essential to keep prices above the pivot point at $6.58. Per the PPS, failure to defend this level will result in the asset retracing as low as the first pivot support at $4.

Nonetheless, the buyers will look for buyback opportunities between the 50% and 61% Fib. If the altcoin breaks $6, it may find support at $5.92 (50% Fib). Further decline will see the bulls mount more demand concentration at $5.56 (61% fib).

However, if the crypto market trajectory changes, the asset will look to test its first pivot resistance at $9.71.

However, indicators do not support the latest bullish readings. For example, despite the latest buyback, the RSI is still on a downtrend. The moving average convergence divergence prints the same negative reading. The 12-day EMA continues its decline.

This may mean a drop as low as the first pivot support at $2. Nonetheless, the bulls will forward to a possible pullback at $2.52 (50% fib).
