TRX/USD: technical picture

From the technical point of view, the initial resistance for TRX/USD is created by a $0.0170 handle reinforced by the upper line of 4-hour Bollinger Band. We will need to see a sustainable move above this handle for the upside to gain traction with the next focus on the recent high of $0.0175 followed by SMA200 daily at $0.0181. TRX/USD has been trading below this MA since the end of July 2019, which means that a sharp move above this barrier will create a strong bullish impulse.

On the downside, the initial support is created by the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band at $0.0162. Once it is out of the way, the sell-off is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $0.0156 (SMA100 daily). and $0.0153 ( the middle line of 4-hour Bollinger Band). This area is likely to slow down the bears, though if it is broken, psychological $0.0140 will become the next bears' target. 

The RSI both on intraday and daily charts stays in the overbought territory, which means that the coin is vulnerable to the downside correction; However, the indicators has yet to produce the reversal signals.
