Daily chart for DYDX/USDT (Source: CoinMarketCap)

As can be seen by the daily chart for DYDX/USDT, investors that kept a close eye on the movements of the 9, 20, and 50 EMA lines would have entered into the bullish move relatively early, as the first bullish cross of the 9 and 20 EMA lines occurred on the 11th of October 2022. The 9 EMA then crossed above the 50 EMA just 6 days later.

A confirmation of the bullish move was the 20 EMA crossing above the 50 EMA on the 26th of October. The price of DYDX then spiked for the few days that followed before pulling back to rest on the 50 EMA level.

However, bulls still had the upper hand as all three EMA lines kept their bullish stance, which was proven despite the 3-day dip below the 50 EMA level.
