  • Optimism price shows two buy signals on the 4-hour chart, hinting at a 10% rally.

Optimism price ready to take the leap

Optimism (OP) price retraced to the $1.21 support level after a 38% ascent between June 19 and 21. Due to the massive bullishness, the pullback is likely to serve as an opportunity for sidelined buyers. 

Additionally, the Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI) flashed a green“one buy signal on the four-hour chart, suggesting a potential trend reversal. This technical formation, the buy signal, forecasts a one-to-four up candlesticks for OP.

Furthermore, the Wave Trend indicator is edging close to a bullish crossover in the oversold, which adds to the overall bullish outlook. Therefore, Optimism price could trigger a 10% run-up to the next critical hurdle at $1.34, which is MRI’s State Trend Resistance level. 

In a highly bullish case, OP could extend this 10% run-up to 22% by tagging the Risk Line at roughly $1.50.

On the other hand, a breakdown of the $1.21 could trigger a correction to $1.08, which is MRI’s State Trend Support level. A breakdown of this barrier will invalidate the bullish thesis for OP by producing lower low. Such a development could skew the odds in the bears’ favor, triggering  a correction to the Risk Line at $1.01.
