Both the upward floating moving average and the bearish MACD indicate that the bears are currently dominating the market.

However, The Relative Strength Index stepping out of the overbought zone, forming a bearish signal that suggests that MKR is encountering strong selling pressure after touching its all-time high. The MKR’s price will experience a slight retracement, and it is likely to trade sideways for a period of time around $3,400 before resuming its upward momentum.
