OP algo gained some strength against the two crypto market leaders. Currently, OP’s price is up 4.31% against Bitcoin (BTC) and 4.52% against Ethereum (ETH).
The price of OP is presently resting on a key support level at around $2.806. It is also receiving some support from the 9 EMA line on its 4-hour chart.
Technical indicators on OP’s 4-hour chart are still bullish. One such indicator is the RSI, with the daily RSI positioned above the RSI SMA line at press time. Another bullish technical flag is the 9 EMA line on the 4-hour chart being positioned above the 20 EMA line..
