Waves price poised to retreat following 160% bull rally

  • Waves price is on the verge of a technical correction. 
  • Growing selling pressure may see Waves to retest $4.6 or $4. 

Waves skyrocketed nearly 160% after reaching a low of $2 in early October. However, multiple technical indicators suggest that this cryptocurrency is poised to undergo a massive downside correction before the uptrend resumes.

Waves price may retest support before moving to new highs

The TD Sequential indicator presented a sell signal on Waves 12-hour chart. The bearish formation came out in the form of a green nine candlestick, estimating that selling pressure is growing. If validated, this token may see its prices drop for one to four candlesticks.

In case of the downside correction gaining traction, Waves price can slip to the initial support created by the 0.78 Fibonacci retracement level at $4.6. Moving past this local barrier, may push WAVES towards the next important area of interest, around $4, which coincides with the 0.61 Fibonacci retracement level.

It is worth noting that Waves price must continue to hold above the $4 support level to retain the long-term bullish outlook. Failing to do so will trigger an extended bearish correction towards $3.7, before new buyers join the market. 

However, if the $4 holds, Waves may resume the recovery and retest the current resistance of $5.3. Breaking above this area will invalidate the bearish scenario and bring $6 into focus.
