IOTA's technical picture
Looking technically, on the intraday level, IOTA’s recovery is capped by $0.2500. This psychological handle is strengthened by SMA100 (Simple Moving Average) and the middle line of Bollinger Band on the 4-hour chart and the middle boundary of Bollinger Band on a daily chart. A sustainable move above this handle will take us towards congestion area $0.2570-$0.2600 where new short-term sell orders are placed. This area contains SMA50 4-hour and the recent recovery high. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $0.2700 ( the upper lines of 4-hour and 1-day Bollinger Bands).
On the downside, a sustainable move below $0.2400 handle will trigger new selling orders and push the price towards the recent low of $0.2330. This support is closely followed by psychological $0.2300 and $0.2200 ( August 15 low).
