Degen crypto has been trending higher since the 1st of October, when the local resistance zone at $0.0055 was broken decisively.
The bulls encountered some pushback at the $0.0085 region, but eventually reclaimed the zone as a support.
The recent rally originated from this region, starting at $0.0079 and going to $0.0218. The RSI was still in overbought territory despite the pullback in recent hours.
The RSI being above 70 does not guarantee a retracement by itself.
Contextually, the Bitcoin dip from $87k has led to a wave of profit-taking, but DEGEN is likely to run much higher. This is because the OBV has climbed past the high it made in June, when the price was at $0.0153.
The market structure was firmly bullish, and the overhead targets next are at $0.0255 and $0.0316 based on the Fibonacci levels plotted for the recent rally.
To the south, the $0.015 area is expected to be retested as support.
