Crypto.com price attempts a 20% rally without hunting sell-stops

  • Crypto.com price has produced a higher high in an attempt to trigger a 20% rally. 
  • The run-up could reverse after a 12% ascent due to the uncollected sell-stops below $0.1080 and $0.0985.
  • A daily candlestick close above $0.1080 will invalidate the bullish thesis for CRO.

Crypto.com price has been on a bullish trend between September 7 and 10 as Bitcoin price exploded due to bullish resurgence. However, as bulls exhaust, BTC is slowing down, and altcoins, including CRO, are also taking a minor hit.

Crypto.com price ready to face the test

Crypto.com price hovers in the $0.0985 to $0.1950 range, with the midpoint at $0.1460. Although CRO produced equal lows at $0.1080 and rallied 15%, the pullback was only 4%, leaving the sell-stops uncollected.

Regardless, the 15% move created a higher high relative to the September 6 swing high at $0.122. This bullish market structure shift stipulates that Crypto.com price should head higher after the ongoing pullback.

From a market makers’ perspective, Crypto.com price could target the August 26 swing high at $0.1330, which is roughly 12% away. In a highly bullish case, CRO could make a run for $0.1420 after a 19.5% ascent. 

Either way, a 12% to 19% move could be cooking for CRO and the only way this scenario will occur is with the support of Bitcoin price.

While things are looking up for Crypto.com price, the bullish outlook is derived due to Bitcoin’s recent run-up. If the big crypto takes a U-turn, CRO will follow suit. Therefore, a daily candlestick close below the equal lows formed at $0.1080 will invalidate the bullish thesis for CRO.

In such a case, Crypto.com price could sweep the range low at $0.0985 to collect the next set of sell-stops.
