Therefore, at the time of writing, the market structure was strongly in favor of the bulls on the 4-hour timeframe. Upon drawing Fibonacci retracement levels, we can see that the 78.6% level acted as support during the pullback from $0.0858.
The RSI was below neutral 50 over the past three days. It neared the neutral 50 level over the past 12 hours of trading, showing that the bearish momentum was weakening but was not yet out of the picture at press time. The OBV has slowly climbed in recent days.
Bulls can look to long TRX around the $0.078-$0.08 area, given the bullish structure. The uptrend was still in play and hence the price could climb higher to reach the 23.6% extension level at $0.0885. A drop below the recent lows would break the structure and invalidate this idea.
