Reef Finance price reveals opposing views

On the 12-hour chart, Reef Finance price

shows that most of its moves are within the range that stretches from $0.031 to $0.045. The recent bull run above the containment quickly reverted to the mean, and the sell-off seems to have expedited this downswing.

Traders can be forgiven for feeling a sense of deja vu. Between March 11 and March 16, REEF underwent a similar price action as the current one. The reversion to the mean was followed by a swift move to the resistance level at $0.044, where Reef Finance price faced significant selling pressure, leading to a 28% downswing to the lower range.

Therefore, if a similar turn of events were to occur, investors can expect REEF to slide at least 13% to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.038 after hitting $0.044. However, if the selling pressure continues to build up, Reef Finance price could slide to $0.036.

On May 11, the number of transactions worth $100,000 or more spiked to 84, the largest spike in its history.

Such a move represents that high-net-worth investors are moving their holdings on-chain and are likely to reallocate or sell. Likewise, this uptick resulted in a 33% collapse in REEF price in the following days.

At the time of writing, this metric seems to have waned to near-zero levels, opening up the path for buyers to purchase the token at a discount.

Due to the recent crash, Santiment’s 30-day Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) model has dropped to -4.74%, known as the opportunity zone. This fundamental index is used to determine the average profit/loss of participants who purchased REEF in the past month.

Its current value indicates that the short-term traders are selling, creating an opportunity for long-term holders to accumulate.

All in all, the on-chain metrics are displaying a bullish outlook for REEF price. However, the technical indicators present a bearish narrative that projects a drop to $0.038 and $0.0364.

A confirmation for the upswing will arrive after REEF decisively closes above the critical resistance point at $0.044. However, a rejection at this barrier will signal the beginning of adowntrend.
