Zilliqa Technical Analysis: ZIL/USD instant 105% price spike on Bitfinex only lasted one minute
|- ZIL/USD spiked to $0.0493 in less than 1 minute on Bitfinex.
- The spike was short-lived and the price fell back down to $0.0236 in the next few minutes.
A massive spike took Zilliqa up to $0.0493 today, on June 8. The move only happened on Bitfinex which means it was most likely someone buying an enormous amount of ZIL coins. ZIL/USD has been in a daily uptrend for the past two months. It’s unclear whether the buyer meant to manipulate the market or simply put a market buy order that was too big for Bitfinex’s volume to handle.

Obviously, the candlestick we see now is only a product of that spike. Ignoring this spike, Zilliqa remains strong and trading above the 12-EMA at $0.0179 and the 26-EMA at $0.0145. If ZIL starts consolidating, bulls will look at both EMAs for support.

The RSI is extremely overextended and indicates that Zilliqa is bound to consolidate eventually. Bulls have managed to break above several weekly resistances and the 12-EMA crossed on top of the 26-EMA forming a bullish cross, the first one in over a year.
