- EOS has a bearish market structure and was unable to break above $0.64.
- A slow move higher to a Fibonacci retracement level before the continuation of the higher timeframe downtrend was a possibility.
EOS gained regulatory approval in Japan last week, which led to a surge of positive short-term sentiment in the market. Given that Japan has a strict financial regulatory framework, the network’s efforts to be compliant with its regulations boded well for long-term holders.

The price chart saw a price jump on 29 August and 30 August, but from a technical standpoint, the structure did not favor the buyers. Even so, a bounce was possible.

While long-term investors could be in for a prolonged wait for a true bull run, traders could expect to see reasonable gains in the coming weeks. EOS was trading at $0.589, and its bounce in late August was unable to breach the local resistance at $0.644.
The Fibonacci retracement levels were plotted for the losses since July. They showed that the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels sat at $0.676 and $0.714 respectively. A retest the $0.714 would be ideal before another drop, and has occurred recently.
The rejection from $0.815 in mid-July was from the 61.8% retracement level of the previous drop. The RSI continued to show a downtrend in progress, while the OBV has not beaten the highs from July yet.

Realistic or not, here’s EOS market cap in BTC’s terms
Over the past week, the market sentiment shifted bullishly when the prices bounced to reach $0.64 on 29 August. The OI surged higher but retraced all those gains as the market slumped toward $0.58 again.
Aggressive swing traders can look to buy EOS around the $0.6 mark, with a tight stop-loss around the $0.55 level. The bullish target would be the $0.67 and $0.71 levels- but a bearish reversal was likely thereafter. Alternatively, a move below $0.55 could trigger losses as well.
