COMP Price Prediction: Compound bulls disappear, 30% crash on the horizon

  • COMP price has flashed sell signals on the daily timeframe, hinting at a trend reversal.
  • Bearish divergence on the daily chart suggests COMP could shed 30% of its market value and tag $50.
  • A daily candlestick close above the $76 hurdle that flips it into a support floor will invalidate the bearish thesis. 

COMP price seems to be rallying despite clear signs of waning momentum on the daily timeframe. This development is screaming ‘sell’ and is a warning to the holders of the Compound platform’s token of an incoming drop.

COMP price ready to undo recent gains

COMP price set up two higher highs on July 2 and July 15 at $71 and $76, which at first look seems normal. But on closer observation, investors can note that this uptrend is ready to reverse. 

The Wave Trend indicator flashed a bearish crossover on July 7 in the overbought region, which signals that it is time to sell. But COMP price continued to rally higher and set up a higher high on July 15, as mentioned above. This uptick, despite the sell signal, led to the formation of a bearish divergence, which is the second sell signal

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) have both set up lower highs, while COMP price has created a higher high. This setup is termed bearish divergence and often results in a downtrend.

While the correction outlook for COMP price is based on multiple sell signals, the crypto market recently and suddenly flipped bullish due to the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit decisions. Hence, a sudden spike in buying pressure in Bitcoin or altcoins is not unlikely.

Under these circumstances, if COMP price produces a daily candlestick close above the $76 hurdle and flips it into a support floor, it will invalidate the bearish thesis. In this case, Compound bulls could propel altcoin to $80.
