Maker Sees 7% Upswing As Key Indicators Signal $2,662 Resistance Test

Source Newsbtc

Maker (MKR) is currently demonstrating bullish moves with a 7% upswing, positioning it for a critical resistance test at $2,662. This surge reflects growing optimistic sentiment as key technical indicators suggest that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a significant breakout. As the market turns green, expectations are that the price of Maker maintain this momentum and push through the $2,662 resistance level, potentially setting the stage for further gains.

This article tends to offer a clear understanding of Maker’s potential price trajectory by analyzing the recent price movement, exploring technical indicators, and assessing the significance of the $2,662 resistance level. 

In the past 24 hours, Maker has gone up by 7.01%, reaching around $2,133, with a market capitalization of over $1.9 billion and a trading volume exceeding $114 million at the time of writing. Maker’s market cap has increased by 7.14%, while its trading volume has surged by 66.30%.

Understanding The 7% Surge: What’s Driving Maker’s Momentum?

Currently, the price of Maker on the 1-hour chart is bullish and is approaching the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the $2,662 mark. The digital asset has been on an upward spiral since it failed to break below the key level of $1,731, which indicates that the bulls are gaining control of the market and could drive the price higher.

Additionally, an analysis of the 1-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows that the signal line of the indicator has successfully risen above 50% toward 70%, suggesting that buying pressure greatly increases and the asset might experience further upward movement.

On the 4-hour, although Maker is still trading below the 100-day SMA, it can be observed that the crypto asset is attempting a bullish move toward the 100-day SMA, printing two bullish momentum candlesticks.

After the rebound at $1,731, Maker has shown bullish resilience, keeping its pace above this level. With this recent bullish sentiment, the digital asset could extend its rally toward the $2,662 resistance level.

Finally, on the 4-hour chart, the RSI indicator also indicates a rising bullish momentum for the cryptocurrency as the RSI signal line has moved out of the overbought zone and is currently heading toward the 50% level.

Breaking Through $2,662: What It Could Mean For The Future Of Maker

If the bulls can sustain their strength in the market, the price of Maker will continue to move upward toward the $2,662 resistance level. Should the price break and close above the $2,662 level, it may continue to rally toward the next resistance point at $3,222 and possibly other levels.

However, if Maker reverses direction at the $2,662 resistance level, it would begin to drop toward the direction of its previous support range at $1,731. When the price breaches this support range, it could signal a deeper bearish trend, leading to further price declines towards other lower levels.
