NEO/USD, the technical picture
From the longer-term perspective, a sustainable move below SMA200 (Simple Moving Average) daily bodes ill for NEO bulls. At the time of writing, this MA coincides with psychological $11.00, thus we will need to see a recovery above this handle to mitigate the initial bearish pressure. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $11.75 (this week's high) followed by $12.00.
On the downside, the initial support is created by $10.00-$10.30 area that has been limiting the decline since the end of October. Once it is out of the way, the sell-off is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $9.60 ( the middle line of the daily Bollinger Band) and $9.20 (SMA100 daily).
