Is BitTorrent (BTT) Price Rally A Pump And Dump Affair?

The BitTorrent market cap closed in on the $1 billion mark following the specular breakout, from support at $0.0000005. BTT also formed the biggest weekly candle in history, as it doubled in value.

It is too early to tell if the rally will continue. However, traders may want to closely monitor the direction of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). A persistent uptrend into the overbought region which is the case at the moment validates a bullish theory.

Therefore, higher support in the region between the 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (red) at $0.0000005919 and the current market value of $0.00000075 could help keep bulls in control, and lead to another breakout above resistance in the area running from $0.000001 to $0.0000011.

The RSI in both the daily and the four-hour time frames paints a grim picture for BitTorrent as it slides into the neutral area. This trend change underscores the intensifying sell-side pressure, possibly due to profit-booking activities.

If support highlighted by the 21-EMA on the four-hour chart holds, bulls could have an early chance to deal with the overhead pressure above $0.0000007. With support confirmed, investors could pique interest in buying the dip while betting on another breakout—an uncertain future.

Tron (TRX), the token powering the Tron blockchain did not see see massive price surge like BitTorrent. Trading 1.4% lower on the day and 0.6% lower in a week, TRX is barely holding onto support at $0.1.
