Helium Price Forecast: Possible breakout from triangle pattern signals bullish outlook

Source Fxstreet
  • Helium broadly consolidates this week despite an increase in mobile signups to a new high.
  • HNT open interest recovers, reflecting increased traders’ demand in the altcoin.
  • The technical outlook puts Helium in a consolidation mode as it nears the apex of a triangle pattern.

Helium (HNT) trades at $4.121 at press time on Tuesday, consolidating in a triangle pattern this week and ignoring the record-high mobile signups over the same period. However, bulls anticipate a potential triangle patternbreakout, fueled by open interest recovery.

Helium nears triangle breakout 

Helium holds above the $4 mark with a mild drop of 0.38% at the time of writing on Tuesday. Since April 16, HNT has consolidated between the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). 

The converging dynamic moving averages develop a triangle pattern on the daily chart below, with the altcoin nearing the apex. This signals a heightened possibility of a breakout continuation move to prolong the 81% rally recorded between $2.39 on April 9 opening and $4.33 on April 26 closing. 

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator and its signal line are on the verge of a bullish crossover, supporting the breakout possibility. 

Helium must sustain a daily closing price above the 200-day EMA at $4.35 for a decisive triangle breakout. The breakout target extends to $5.81, aligning with the 50% Fibonacci retracement drawn from $9.22 on December 16 opening to $2.39 on April 8. However, a short-term struggle could be seen at $5.39, a peak formed on January 18.

On the other hand, a daily closing price under the 50-day EMA at $3.83 could extend the decline to the $3.22 support, highlighted by a low on April 16.

HNT derivatives witness increased bullishness

As Helium nears a triangle breakout, the derivatives market turns optimistic. According to Coinglass, the HNT open interest (OI) has increased to $6.69 million from $5.35 million in a week, suggesting a sharp increase in traders’ activity as it indicates that new money or more money is flowing into the market

The rising OI-weighted funding rate to 0.0122% reflects a bullish inclination in the traders’ activity.
