Crypto analyst Jonathen Carter stated that the 3D chart shows price actively retesting the breached midline of a long-term descending channel. This level now acts as a key support-resistance flip zone, making it critical for confirming whether the bullish breakout remains valid or fails under selling pressure.
From an indicator perspective, data from TradingView shows the RSI is at 49.75 while the signal line is at 58.07. This indicates an increase in bearish pressures.
The MACD signal is weakening and points to a decrease in bullish power. The MACD line at -0.01041 is falling below the signal line at 0.03743, with the histogram losing its positive momentum.
