above $2.00 and $2.020, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a 
clear move above the $2.10 resistance. The bulls even pumped the price above 
the $2.150 zone. A high was formed at $2.165 and the price started a

from the $1.983 swing low to the $2.165 high. The price is now trading above 
$2.10 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a bullish

the $2.1650 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.180 level, above 
which the price could rise and test $2.20. A clear move above the $2.20

continue lower toward $1.9650. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for
