Maker Price Analysis: MKR Sellers Plan A Revisit $1000; Buy Again?

Due to a sudden price drop of its competitor Terra(LUNA), the MKR/USDT pair has witnessed a significant inflow as investors are safer with DAI stablecoin. As a result, the altcoin nearly jumped 80% on its intraday level and reached a high of around $2300. However, the sellers didn’t allow such a quick recovery resulting in a long higher price rejection candle.

Key points

  • The MKR chart displays a long-tail rejection attached to today’s daily candle
  • The MKR price plunged below the crucial EMAs
  • The 24-hour trading volume in the Maker coin is $593.5 Million, indicating a 200% gain

Since September 2021 fall, the Maker(MKR) technical chart has presented a steady downtrend responding to a descending trendline. The altcoin offering multiple reversals from this resistance indicates traders are aggressively selling on bullish pullbacks.

Furthermore, the last correction phase has recently breached crucial monthly support of $1680 on April 26th. As a result, the escalated selling momentum slumped the MKR price by 38% and hit the $1000 psychological support level.

Yesterday, the MKR price rebounded from the $1000 mark with a bullish engulfing candle, but it witnessed an even greater buying force today. During the early hours, the coin price reflected 86% growth on an intraday level and retested the overhead trendline.

However, the MKR price immediately reverted and dropped below $1680. The long-wick rejection attached to daily candles indicates the sellers have not thrown the towel yet.

Thus, a candle closing below $1680 would bolster a revisit to the $100 mark.

Technical indicator

In today’s high volatility, the MKR buyers reclaimed and lost the crucial EMAs(20, 50, 100, and 200). However, a bearish sequence among these EMAs reflects an overall bear market.

A parabolic rally in the daily-ADX slope with an insignificant dip due to today’s price jump indicates strong bullish momentum

  • Resistance level- $1680 and $1950
  • Support levels- $1000 and $800
