Basic Attention Token Price: Trends and Highlights for July 9

• BAT/BTC reached a high on July 1
• It recently broke down from an ascending support line.
• The long- and short- moving averages have made a bearish cross.
• There is a slight bullish divergence developing in the RSI.

Previous BAT Price Movement

Since reaching the aforementioned low on May 26, the BAT price has been following an ascending support line.

On July 8, the price broke down from this support line.

How long will this decrease continue?

Let’s take a look at a longer-term view to put it into perspective.

Significant Support

A look at the weekly time-frame shows that the BAT price has reached lows close to 2400 satoshis on three occasions:

1. March 2018
2. September 2018
3. July 2019

Connecting these lows gives us a horizontal support line.

The recent breakdown caused the BAT price to reach this area again.

Additionally, a look at the moving averages shows that the price is firmly in a downtrend.

A bearish cross occurred at the end of May, and the 10-week MA has been offering resistance to the price since.

Will the BAT price break down from this support line?

Possible Upward Move

While the Basic Attention Token price has made a double bottom near 2300 satoshis, the RSI has generated higher values.

However, this divergence is not visible in longer-term time-frames, and not present at all in the MACD.

A look at the daily moving averages gives a similar outlook to the weekly ones.

The price has been trading below both MAs.

During the upward move on July 1st, it made an attempt at breaking out above the 20-day MA, but was pushed back immediately.

The same thing occurred on July 8, and the BAT price made a bearish hammer.

At the time of writing, both MAs have begun to decrease, and the price is trading below them.

Summary

The BAT price recently broke down from a short-term ascending support line.

Moving averages indicate that the price is likely still in a downtrend.

The RSI supports a possible upward move. However, there is still significant resistance left to be cleared if that move is to materialize.
