TRX/USD: Technical picture

At the time of writing, TRX/USD is changing hands at $0,0176, having gained 2.8% since the beginning of Tuesday. The local support for the coin is created by $0.01750 (the middle line of the daily Bollinger Band)  followed by a psychological $0.01700. The coin recovered above 100-hour SMA, which is a bullish short-term signal. The sell-off may be extended towards 50-day SMA at $0.01688 and $0.01600. This psychological barrier is reinforced by a combination of 100-day and 200-day SMAs. 

On the upside,  a sustainable move above the next resistance of  $0.01800 is needed to clear the way to $0.1860. This barrier is reinforced by the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band. Also, this area served as a channel resistance during the previous recovery attempt.
