Chart of the day
JASMY/USDT daily chart
JasmyCoin (JASMY) could extend its decline by another 8% and collect liquidity at the Fair Value Gap (FVG) shown in the JASMY/USDT daily chart. The momentum indicator shows waning positive momentum in JASMY’s price trend.
Once JASMY collects liquidity at the FVG, the asset could resume its climb to the June 19 high of $0.03370, as seen in the chart above. A rally to this level represents nearly 25% increase in the asset’s price.
