Tron recently formed a bottom, hitting 612 satoshis low. At that point it rejected the 3/1 Gann Fan trendline, which has acted as the support. Yesterday, under the heavy volume, TRX/BTC broke above the 4/1 Gann Fan trendline as well as the 50 Moving Average, suggesting the beginning of an uptrend, or a corrective wave up.
Today price corrected back to the Moving Average and it seems found the support there, at 690 satoshis. It seems that current price is very attractive in terms of a buying opportunity and price should continue increasing.
The first strong resistance is at 64.8% Fibonacci retracement level, that is 860 satoshis, which corresponds to the 8/1 Gann Fan trendline. If that resistance is broken, Tron is likely to test 900-1000 satoshis area, that is 76.4% Fibs. Only break and close below 600 satoshis support could invalidate this scenario.
In other news, the CEO of one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, Coinbase has encouraged the employees not to worry about the falling Bitcoin price. Brian Armstrong told the staff that the down cycle was bound to come, however, he reassures them that this is the time to go above the hype brought by surging prices. He was also talking to the larger crypto community when he wrote on Twitter:
“After many years of this, I've come to enjoy the down cycles in crypto prices more. It gets rid of the people who are in it for the wrong reasons, and it gives us an opportunity to keep making progress while everyone else gets distracted.” Armstrong added in another tweet, “I want to encourage you all to ignore the price of crypto and the headlines which will inevitably start to come up. Our job is to rise above that, finding our own intrinsic source of motivation, to come in and do our best work, regardless of what other people think.”
