How much are 1,10,100 GRTs worth today?

Therefore, GRT could oscillate between 50% ($0.1723) and 61.8% ($0.1864) Fib levels in the next few hours. However, bulls must deal with the hurdle at $0.1776. 

Notably, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) retreated but was still bullish at 57 units. But the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) exhibited a sideways movement above the zero line, showing a battered but steady market that could enter a price consolidation. 

Alternatively, the trading volumes could decline further, tipping bears to break below the 50% Fib level. Such a move would invalidate the bias described above. The downtrend could be kept in check by $0.1674, 38.2% or 23.60% Fib levels. 

Sentiment dropped as GRT’s short-term selling pressure increased

As per Santiment, GRT saw a sharp drop in weighted sentiment, indicating waning confidence in the asset by investors. Nevertheless, the sentiment remained positive, further reiterating that GRT weakened but could attempt a recovery. 

However, the recovery could be weak because of the short-term sell pressure witnessed at press time. Notably, GRT recorded a spike in supply on exchanges, indicating that more tokens were moved to exchanges for offloading, painting a short-term sell pressure. 

On the other hand, Supply outside of exchanges declined, showing little demand for GRT at press time. As such, GRT’s possible recovery could be limited with a possibility of sideways trading. But a strong bullish or bearish BTC would invalidate the above bias as GRT will adopt a definite price direction based on the king coin’s movement.
