The cryptocurrency price was in a strong bullish trend. After rising from $0.59 to $1.13, it saw a retracement to $0.7, the 78.6% Fibonacci level.

Since then, the token has rebounded strongly, helped in part by Bitcoin’s (BTC) short-term bullish run over the past few days.

During the MOVE recovery, volume surged higher. While this was an encouraging sight, OBV did not break a local high.

This showed that buying pressure was on the rise, but it was not significant enough to overwhelm the selling seen since December 20th.

Therefore, although MOVE has made a new high, it may struggle to push higher due to insufficient volume. Meanwhile, the RSI showed that momentum was strongly higher.

The next targets are $1.26, $1.47 and $1.68. In the short term, the $1.2 area is resistance, while the $1.03-$1.05 area is a demand area.

A drop below $0.997 will turn the structure bearish and could be an early warning of another bounce.

Since December 23, open interest has nearly doubled, rising from $71.8 million to $135.68 million at press time.h

This has reflected heavy bullish speculative activity as MOVE has seen gains in the past three days.

The funding rate was also positive, setting bullish sentiments. The ongoing demand in the spot market is likely to help the move gain traction and break the $1.2 resistance zone.
