Chart of the day
OP/USDT daily chart
Optimism (OP) could sweep liquidity in the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $1.532 and $1.581 before resuming a rally towards the lower boundary of the FVG at $2.274. A correction in Optimism is likely since the momentum indicator Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals waning positive momentum in Optimism’s price trend.
The green histogram bars are consecutively smaller and closer to the neutral line, as seen in the OP/USDT daily chart.
