Decentraland price sets the stage for a climb

Decentraland price has been consolidating below the $0.788 resistance level for 575 days and is currently approaching key levels. During its nearly two-year consolidation, MANA created an Adam and Even setup, which is a bottom reversal pattern. 

This technical formation contains two bottoms—the first one has a sharp v-shaped recovery, and the second one is rounded. The pattern forecasts a 64% rally to $1.292 on a successful breakout of the neckline at $0.788, obtained by adding the distance between the second bottom’s depth and the breakout point. 

Considering the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recently retested the overbought zone, a retest of the 50 mean level would increase the probability of a breakout. Until this happens, Decentraland price will likely be stuck between $0.788 and $0.542 barriers.

While the outlook for Decentraland price remains bullish in the long-term, a short-term spike in selling pressure could trigger a correction for MANA. In such a case, if Decentraland price breaches $0.542, it would create a lower low and invalidate the bullish thesis.

Such a development could attract panic selling and knock MANA down by 22% resulting in a retest of the January 29 swing low at $0.423.
