In a previous MKR price prediction on 2 October, AMBCrypto was bullish on the asset after hitting a new 2023 high of $1650. The projection suggested $1650 as the next likely target, but sellers maintained their resilience, derailing the bullish momentum at the range-high. 

Maker bulls regained control

The price action chalked an ascending channel on the higher timeframe (HTF) charts. The late September rally left a price imbalance and FVG (Fair Value Gap) of $1325 – $1405 (white) on the daily chart.  

Below the FVG was a daily bullish order block (OB) of $1261 – $1306 (cyan). The recent reversal eased at the confluence of the FVG and range-low, as shown by the 4H chart. It shows bulls regained control at the confluence area.

So, a rebound towards the mid-range around $1525 was likely. The mid-range also had a confluence with an H12 bearish OB formed during the price rejection on 1 October.  

But the RSI faltering at the 50-mark could thwart bullish momentum. Besides, the OBV retreated and did not recover strongly at press time. Collectively, the readings suggest that buying pressure was mild amidst weak demand.
