The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the On Balance Volume (OBV) exhibited fluctuations on the three-hour chart. In particular, the RSI pattern showed historical rejection at the mid-level of 50.
As such, the sideways trading pattern within the $0.06178 – $0.06368 range could extend for the next few hours. In addition, upward momentum must deal with the hurdles at $0.06264 and $0.06312 and the short-term supply zone above $0.06368. On the other hand, a drop within the range could be held by the 100-period EMA (exponential moving average).
However, a breach of the above price consolidation range would invalidate the above bias. A drop below the demand zone could settle at $0.06020, while a breach above the supply zone could retest the $0.06525 resistance level.
