Can the second half of 2022 be kind to SafeMoon price?

  • SafeMoon price shows signs of recovery after consolidating for days between $0.000584 and$0.000414.
  • Investors can expect a bounce to result in roughly a 100% upswing to $0.000876.
  • A daily candlestick close below the range low at $0.000356 will invalidate the bullish thesis for SAFEMOON.

SafeMoon price shows a bullish outlook that seems too good to be true. Investors that do not practice proper risk management could get caught off guard

SafeMoon price prepares for a run-up

SafeMoon price consolidated between the $0.000584 and $0.000414 levels since June 19. This coiling up capped the altcoin’s volatility. However, the recent bounce off the lower limit suggests that SAFEMOON is ready for a quick move higher.

Factoring in the state of Bitcoin, which is looking bullish and ready for a bounce, investors need to prepare for a similar outlook for SafeMoon price. The most probable level that the altcoin can retest is the 50% retracement level at $0.000725.

If bullish momentum overcomes this hurdle, market participants can expect SafeMoon price to make a run for the 70.5% retracement level at $0.000876. This run-up would constitute a 100% upswing for SAFEMOON and is likely where the upside is capped.

While things are looking bullish for SafeMoon price after the recent consolidation, investors need to note that the altcoin tagged the range low at $0.000356 multiple times. This development leaves a lot of liquidity below it, making it malleable for market-maker manipulation.

If a  sweep of the said level materializes, SafeMoon price could produce a daily candlestick close below the range low to invalidate the bullish thesis.

In such a case, SAFEMOON could crash 56% to the next support level at $0.000157.
