EOS price technical picture

EOS is dancing with $5.00 while seeking balance above $4.90. Yesterday’s pullback from $4.70 support tested the resistance at $5.2 but failed to retrace higher. EOS/USD consolidated the gains above $5.00 during the Asian trading hours. However, European trading is seeing EOS corrected lower below the same level. Various technical indicators like the RSI and the MACD are sending bearish signals. A support must be formed at $4.90 to prevent declines towards $4.70 and eventually the primary at support at $4.10. The 50SMA is offering immediate support. On the contrary, the 100SMA will limit recoil towards the critical $5.2.
