Confirming the strength of the uptrend in the current ANKR market, the Aroon Up Line was 92.86% at press time. When the Aroon Up line is close to 100, it indicates that the uptrend is strong and that the most recent high was reached relatively recently.
How did ANKR respond?
Similarly, as of this writing, ANKR’s price rested above the upper band of the token’s Bollinger Bands. While this also lent credence to the strength of the buying pressure in the market, it is noteworthy to point out that when an asset’s price moves towards and above the upper band of this metric, it can indicate that the asset is overbought, and the price may soon reverse downward.
