PYR crypto soars 45% in 30 days – Time for cool-off?

Will the $4 roadblock derail PYR's uptrend as leveraged short sellers target it?

  • PYR crypto rallied 45% this month but cooled off below $4. 
  • Will a short squeeze push it above $4 and extend the rally? 

PYR crypto, the native token for the gaming blockchain Vulcran Forged, more than doubled in November, rallying from $2.1 to $4.6. As of this writing, the token was valued at $3.5, a 45% surge in the past 30 days. 

With the buyer exhaustion seen in the past few days, will PYR crypto continue to cool off or reignite the uptrend?

The upper long candlestick wicks indicate buyer exhaustion that always precedes cool-offs. PYR followed a similar trend and has been consolidating below $4 for the past few days. 

If the bull run and the altcoin momentum continued, PYR could consolidate for a while before surging forward. The latest price rejection happened at $4, which doubled as a former Q2 support-cum-resistance.

So, a decisive move above $4 could signal an uptrend continuation and increase the odds of PYR hitting the $5 and $6 targets. 

However, technical indicators inclined towards a likely local top. The RSI hit an overbought level and headed southwards, indicating buying pressure waned. Will it head to the 50 mid-level before rebounding? 

Similarly, the OBV (On Balance Volume) faltered near June highs, collectively suggesting the PYR price momentum could cool off or retrace.

The $4 level could become a key resistance in the short term. According to the Coinglass, there was a spike in leveraged short positions at $4, illustrated by the bright orange levels. 

With no significant liquidity on the lower side of price action, a hunt for upside liquidity could push PYR to re-target $4 again or trigger a short squeeze to go higher. However, a drop below $3.3 could complicate the move above $4.
