Bullish momentum overpowered bearish resistance

The $1,365 resistance level stood in the way of Maker’s bullish uptrend for over a month. Buyers experienced two rejections at the level on 2 August and 21 September, respectively.
However, the latest level retest saw bulls ramp up the buying pressure, with the RSI (Relative Strength Index) surging into the overbought zone. This broke the bearish resistance at the level and took MKR to a 2023-high of $1,600.
Despite the pullback, the OBV (On Balance Volume) continued to trend higher, signifying the presence of more bullish momentum. With bullish sentiment returning to the market, MKR bulls could hit another year-high in the coming days.
The short-term targets will involve breaking through the $1,577 resistance and flipping it to support. This will enable a further push for gains at $1,600 to $1,650.
