The token is close to the lower Bollinger Band, indicating high potential for downside and volatility. There may be relief rallies, but overall buying momentum is weak and lacks buying volumes. A close above the range of $6.50-7.30 is needed to shift the momentum, or there may be a pullback to $4.10.
Weekly Momentum Signals Continued Caution
The token’s RSI is trending in the lower region, below the 50 level, which is a sign that the bullish momentum is slowing down.
This line is still below the moving average, which is a clear sign that the selling pressure is strong. Although it is not oversold, the level is a sign that the market will not see strong gains.

The MACD is also in the bearish zone, with the signal line above the MACD line, while the MACD histogram bars are negative. This is another indication of the bearish momentum in the market, and the token will continue to move in the same direction until the MACD becomes flat or turns bullish.
