Ethereum, Shiba Inu, Terra Price Analysis: 12 January
As the broader sentiment improves, the king alt recovered from the 61.8% Fibonacci support and crossed its 4-hour 20-SMA.
On the other hand, Terra jumped above its 20-50-200 after clawing back to its 38.2% support level. Although Ethereum, Shiba Inu and Terra noted double-digit gains from their long-term supports, they needed to back it up with enough volumes to confirm a strong move.

The recent falling wedge (yellow) breakout found it difficult to breach the $0.00003405-mark as the alt sought the highest liquidity near this area for nearly the past six months (Point of Control, red).

LUNA regained the 50%, 38.2% support level and crossed the 4-hour 20-50-200 SMA. Now, the immediate testing point for the bulls stood at the $80.8-level. Any breakdowns would find testing support at the $74.9-level.
