Daily chart for MKR/USDT (Source: TradingView)

The price of MKR has been able to break above the 20-day EMA line in the last 24 hours and continues to trade above this EMA level at press time. Furthermore, MKR’s price has also flipped the resistance level at $703 into support in the last 24 hours.

Should MKR’s price close today’s trading session above the $703 mark, then it will likely break out toward $767 in the next 24-48 hours. However, a close today below this level will see MKR’s price lose the support of the 9-day EMA line and drop down to $655.

The daily RSI indicator supports the bearish thesis as the daily RSI line is currently sloped negatively toward the oversold territory. Therefore, it may be best for traders to wait for the 9-day EMA line to cross the 20-day EMA line before entering into a long position for MKR.
