Bitcoin, Polkadot and Tron Continue To Consolidate; Vital Trading Levels

Over the past six weeks, Bitcoin traded within a descending channel that followed this month. In the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency tried to break upwards from the channel.

The increased bearish force has caused Bitcoin to struggle at the 23.6% Fibonacci level. Immediate resistance was at $50,173.04, and falling below the current level would cause it to trade near $41,063.97, which is almost 50% lesser than its ATH secured on November 10.

Buying strength post Bitcoin hitting its ATH was positive only a handful of times. However, despite consolidation, the Relative Strength Index was positive. This signals a possibility for the coin’s price to display northbound movement. The Directional Movement Index contrastingly hinted at a bearish outcome over the upcoming trading sessions.

Polkadot also continued to depict sideways trading with a slight appreciation of 0.7% over the last 24 hours. The coin was trading at $25.34 at press time. The altcoin was experiencing strong resistance at 23.6% Fibonacci level, acting as the coin’s immediate resistance mark. Long consolidation sessions have caused DOT to trade below the multi-month robust support line of $26. Buying strength of the coin displayed that the coin is yet to make a trend commitment.

The Relative Strength Index climbed up but was still below the half-line, suggesting that sellers dictated the coin’s price. In case of the buying strength recovers, there’s a possibility that DOT might recover from the lateral trading. Awesome Oscillator chose the bulls while MACD wasn’t too quick to flash the same readings.

Tron’s prices remained sandwiched between $0.090 and $0.070, and at press time, it was trading for $0.081. It has been encountering a strong pullback from the 38.2% Fibonacci level. The immediate overhead price ceiling was $0.093, and the local support was $0.070.

The fear index has been super strong; hence, that is reflected in the number of buyers in the market. Tron’s current price action can also be tied to the news of Justin Sun retiring from the Tron Foundation.

The Relative Strength Index swayed with the bearish price movement as the indicator was below the half-line. Awesome, Oscillator chose the bulls, although declining green signal bars hinted that the bullish price action might fizzle out soon. MACD displayed bearish sentiments.
