WAVES: Is it safe to swim in the current price range without a life-vest

ambcrypto.com:

WAVES has been trading within a tight range for almost two weeks now, with barely any upward or downward action. However, that might be about to change, especially due to the price action’s recently formed death cross.

WAVES pushed into the weekend with its 50-day moving average crossing below its 200-day MA. This action effectively formed a death cross, which is often considered a bearish sign. If this holds true, then we should expect WAVES to breakout of its tight range in favor of the bears.

The death cross comes at an unusual period where WAVES barely noticed any price activity for almost two weeks. It traded at $5.94 at the time of this press, which means it is still within its historic low.

Furthermore, the Money Flow indicator currently shows signs of slight accumulation, likely due to some retail buying at its recent dip. The Directional Movement indicator suggests the lack of directional momentum, reflecting WAVES’ latest performance.

The death cross is supposed to point towards a more downside but WAVES is currently heavily oversold and due for a bullish recovery. This conflicting situation may explain why investors have been cautious about buying back at the ongoing low prices. Perhaps on-chain metrics may help navigate through this fog of uncertainty.
