The 4-hour MTL/USDT chart provides a view of the market's movements along with RSI and MACD indicators to gauge momentum and trend strength.
The RSI is at 54.21, which indicates a slight bullish bias as it is above the neutral 50 mark but not yet into overbought territory (above 70). This level of RSI suggests a moderate amount of buying momentum.
The MACD is just above the signal line, also indicating mild bullish momentum. However, it’s close to the zero line, so the upward momentum isn’t particularly strong at this point.
Price action is currently between the first level of support (S1) at $1.731 and the first level of resistance (R1) at $2.323. The presence of the second resistance (R2) at $2.452 indicates that this is a significant area to watch if R1 is breached. Similarly, if the price were to break below S1, the next significant support lies at S2 at $1.529.
For a trading strategy based on this chart, I would monitor for a potential breakout above R1 with increased volume, which could signal a move towards R2. A fall below S1, especially with significant volume, could indicate a potential short opportunity or an exit signal for existing long positions.
The importance of risk management can't be overstated; setting stop-loss orders around S1 could mitigate downside risk in the event of a price reversal. The strategy would also include being vigilant for any signs of a trend reversal indicated by the RSI or MACD diverging from the price movement.
