It is likely that the price will keep trading inside the confines of this channel until a decisive move occurs.
In order to predict the direction of the move, we need to take a look at some technical indicators.
Technical Indicators
We begin with the MACD and RSI.
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.
Both of these are shown in the chart below:
Similarly, the RSI and the MACD made the first high on Apr 16. However, they have continued to generate lower values since.
This is known as bearish divergence and often precedes price decreases.
The use of these indicators suggests that the price will eventually drop towards the support line of the channel.
However, it is possible that a sharp move occurs. If it does, where will price begin a reversal?
Reversal Areas
To determine the actual possible future price levels, we incorporate resistance areas into the analysis.
The closest resistance area is found near $0.0096. If the price breaks out of the channel it is likely to reach this area. We do not believe this will occur in the short-term.
Summary of Analysis
Based on this analysis, the price of XVG is likely to drop towards the support line of the channel. We cannot confidently predict a breakout or a breakdown.
