Hello. There are several things I want to show you.
First of all,
we need to see the chart. I drew three types of line in the price chart.
1.Blue dot line(Support / Resistance line)
2.Pink dot line(I connected open/close bottom price recently)
3.Red line(It's not about the price, it's about volume downtrend)
Blue dot line is showing you that the price was drawing some kind of triangle pattern, which had breakout yesterday, and going below the resistance line, which is really fearful news!
You need to consider this : breakout should be confirmed by volume.
Especially we're dealing with two-months old big triangle which is not common in cryptocurrency trading, which means that the breakout trading volume should be bigger(enough to pop out of red volume trend line I drew) and should bring bigger downtrend.
Yesterday the price decreased from $2.5 to $2.2 in one day, which is huge(about 15% loss) but not more than that. So I'm suspicious of the "break" happened yesterday.
Well, pink dot line is not ordinary trend line. I may missed fundamental TA study,
but I think trend line should be connected using highest price and lowest price. not like the way I used.
I just connected open/close price of the bottoms recently(in 2 months) and it has its own trend!
I think it is some kind of secret support.
And if you look into the chart yesterday carefully, you may notice that "break" yesterday touched the "secret" line I drew. The price didn't go below than that. Isn't it odd?
(By the way, about the "secret" trend line, I think it is not ordinary way to draw, but I'm not sure. If you know this kind of drawing trend line is also acceptable, please tell me about that. I'm newbie and need to learn.)
I have hypothesis that the secret line I drew may be real support line,
which makes this triangle looking pattern expanded to descending wedge pattern, which is bullish.
Secondary, I have indicators to show you.
MACD and RSI went down almost same level / lower than the level before 2 months, when the pump of IOTA price happened, but the price is still higher than 2 months ago. It is called hidden divergence, and it happens often in growing market, to gather the power to jump further level.
(Indicators : lower low / Price : higher low)
will it recover soon? I have no idea. Yes the hidden divergence is bullish signal in this situation, but it don't tell you when exactly it'll recover the price and go higher level.
OBV is also looking good. Even the price decreased almost 60% in two months considering all time high($5.8), weird thing is that OBV is in stable state(decreasing not so much) This is another divergence, may suggest that the demand(buying power) has stayed stable for 2 months even in downtrend.
(indicator : stable trend / price : downtrend)
Overall, with not ordinary trend line drawing and some indicators, I have hypothesis that it is actually descending wedge pattern, which want us to sell IOTA to gather power, so that the price jump to next level.
Should we buy now then? I don't think so. I said previous article about ICX that we should buy at the breakout point, not in the consolidation phase(like now...)
There is possibility that I have wrong opinion, and may go downward to torture me more 1 month.
Breakout point will be break of resistance line I drew.
One more thing : you should consider BTC bearish movement, because recent all the crash and pump affected IOTA movement.
Even if I'm right about the chart, BTC have enough potential to drag IOTA out of my analysis.
