Can NEO’s Highs Get Any Higher? (Price Analysis for NEO: March 14)

Before we answer that question, here’s a look at NEO’s price from Mar 4 to Mar 14. Based on today’s we believe that slight price increases are to be expected in the near future. At some point in the future, a rapid upward or downward movement may follow.

Key Highlights For Mar 14

• The price has been on an uptrend since Mar 5.
• The price is trading inside a symmetrical triangle.
• There is bearish divergence developing in the RSI and the MACD.
• There are resistance areas near $0.098 and $0.108.
• There are support areas near $0.082 and $0.07.

Ascending Support

The price of NEO on Binance is analyzed at one-hour intervals from Mar 4 to Mar 14. The price made a low of $8.12 on Mar 4 before initiating a rapid upward movement. As market cycles were completed along this upward trend, each low was higher than the last. Afterward, every successive low has been higher than the preceding one. Tracing these successively higher lows gives us the ascending support line.    The ascending support line acts as a floor to price, preventing further downward movement. It is supposed to trace the lower limits of the price. It also serves to gauge the rate of price increases. Between Mar 5 and 11, the price increased at a higher rate than by the support line. Since Mar 11, it has revisited the support line three times giving us a total of four points. As price appears to stabilize around the support, we expect the upward trend to continue at the current rate until a peak is reached.

Symmetrical Triangle

On Mar 7, the price made a high of $9.52. It has made lower highs since. Tracing these highs gives us adescending resistance line.

Similar to the support line, the resistance line acts as a ceiling to price, preventing further upward movement. Wick breakouts above this line can be considered insignificant is not suceeded by continuous increases. The few breakouts experienced on Mar 8 and 13 can, thus, be considered insignificant. The resistance and support lines combine to create a symmetical triangle. This is a generally neutral pattern suggesting an equal likelihood for both price increases or decreases. The current upward trend of the support, however, suggests increases to be more likely. However, the support and resistance will soon converge. At this point, ZEC will be forced to break out above the resistance or break down below the support. A reversal may begin at this point to correct for recent gains; on the contrary, price increases may continue after the convergence. Based on the creation of the triangle pattern, it is likely that the price moves inside the confines of the triangle until the point of convergence between support and resistance lines, at which it will make a decisive upward or downward move. However, the pattern does not help us in determining the direction of the move.

Bearish Divergence

In order to successfully predict the direction of the move, we take a closer look at the indicators. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages (long and short-term) and the price. It is used to measure the strength of a move. The relative strength index (RSI) is an indicator which calculates the size of the changes in price in order to determine oversold or overbought conditions in the market. Combining MACD and RSI bullish/bearish divergence with support/resistance essentially predicts price fluctuations. On Mar 12, the price made a high of $9.14. It proceeded to make a higher high on Mar 13, at $9.31. The MACD and RSI both made the first high on Mar 12. However, they continued to make lower highs since. This is called bearish divergence and often precedes drops in price. A partial drop has already occurred. Furthermore, the level of divergence is not very significant. Greater drops may be expected, but they can be definitively inferred from these indicators. Using these indicators and the creation of a neutral pattern, a price increase and decrease are both likely, however, the presence of divergence makes a breakdown slightly more likely.

Reversal Areas

The price of NEO on Binance is analyzed at six-hour intervals from Jan 7 to Mar 14, in order to better visualize potential reversal areas in the future.

Resistance and support areas are formed when the price reaches a certain level several times. They can act as a ceiling/floor that prevents the price from moving further in that direction. The first area of resistance is found near $9.8. If the price breaks out from the triangle, this would be a likely reversal area. If it keeps moving upward, the next area of resistance is found near $10.8. Based on this analysis, the price may eventually reach this level. The closest support area is found near $8.3. If the price breaks down from the triangle, this would present a likely reversal area. If it keeps dropping, the next support area is found near $7. Based on this analysis, it is likely that the price reaches at least one of these areas.

Summary of Analysis

Based on this analysis, the price of NEO is likely to trade inside the symmetrical triangle before making a decisive move. While the market view is quite neutral, we believe a breakdown may be slightly more likely than a breakout. If the price touches the resistance and support areas several times, the prediction will be partially validated. If it then continues to break down, it will be fully validated.
