Maker Consolidates Below Resistance at $2,800, Possible Breakout Imminent

Since February 5, Maker rallied to $2800 after a rebound above the $1,800 support. The bulls failed to sustain the uptrend above the $2,800 resistance. Consequently, MKR fell to $2,400 support and resumed consolidation above it.

For the past week, the cryptocurrency has been fluctuating within a confined range. The bulls have tested the resistance at $2,800 thrice but unable to break it. The bears also tested the support at $2,400 but made a pullback. The candlesticks with long tails are indicating buying pressure at a lower price level. On the upside, if the bulls break the resistance at $2800, the market will rise to a high of $3,500 high. However, if the bullish scenario fails, the market will continue with the sideways trend.

Maker indicator analysis  

MKR’s price is well above the moving averages which indicate a possible upward move for the cryptocurrency. The price is above the 70% range of the daily stochastic. This indicates that Maker has bullish momentum. MKR upward move is doubtful as it is above level 70 of the Relative Strength index.

Technical indicators:  

Major Resistance Levels – $3,000 and $3,200

Major Support Levels – $1.600 and $1,400

What is the next direction for Maker?

The retracement indicates that the market will rise and reverse at level 1.272 Fibonacci extensions. That is the high of $3574.96.
