Will the $6.926 support hold?

From 25 February, FIL consolidated significantly within the $6.693 – $6.926 range before breaking below and toiling underneath the descending line. But it broke above the descending line on 1 March, setting FIL for a short-term recovery. 

But the price rejection at $7.263 could delay the recovery. Bulls could seek a retest of the bearish order block (OB) at $7.263 if the RSI faces rejection at the 50-mark and rebounds. Above the OB, bulls could experience a relatively smooth breeze toward $7.697. 

Bears could be tipped to run the market if RSI breaks below the 50-mark and BTC falls below $23.35K. As such, short-sellers could target $6.693 or $6.640 for shorting opportunities. 

The OBV (On Balance Volume) rose on 1 March but fluctuated at the time of writing, which could suggest a potential sideway structure. Nevertheless, on-chain metrics suggest bullish sentiment, which could boost the recovery.
