The technical indicators also offer additional insights. The MACD has just recently seen a bullish crossover and is currently above the signal line indicating increasing bullish momentum over the last four days as indicated by the daily candles closing bullish.

The Relative Strength Index stands at 52  which means that the market is neither in an overbought nor an oversold region and provides room for potential movement on either side.

The 50 day Exponential Moving Average is currently below the current market price which signals a potential support while the 100 and 200 EMAs are positioned at $0.84 and $0.85 respectively, acting as resistance levels.
