The market structure on the 4-hour chart was bullish and has been so since the first week of November. The memecoin saw its momentum stall around the $1-level over the past few days, but it saw a decisive breakout on Friday, 15 November.
The RSI on the 4-hour chart has also been above neutral 50 for the past two weeks. Alongside the price setting higher highs and higher lows, the RSI reinforced the bullish picture for GOAT.
The OBV has been steadily trending higher too – Another sign that bulls have been dominant. One concern that bulls might have was the drop in trading volume since 11 November. Finally, the trading volume has been below average during this week’s trading.

AMBCrypto found that there were a large number of short liquidation levels from $1.16-$1.2. They outweighed the long liquidations that lay from $1.146 to $1.05. This meant that a move higher might be likely since the price is usually drawn to liquidity.

Hence, a move towards $1.2 appeared likely at press time, but what can come next? Well, the low trading volume hinted at weakness from the buyers.
