Can HNT Breakout Further to Sustain the Momentum?
Helium has shown remarkable momentum in the last month, with an increase of 65.15%. The asset started trading at $4.98, gradually climbing to $7.91. Over the past seven days, the asset continued its bull run, by soaring 17.75%. The week opened trading at $7.01, eventually reaching a high of $7.83.
The technical indicators of HNT reveal the position of daily RSI at 64.10, entering into the overbought zone. Moreover, the asset’s 24-hour frame shows bullish momentum as the short-term 9-day and long-term 21-day moving averages are below the current price of $8.15 and $7.74, respectively.
Assuming HNT’s revival at $8.39, initial resistance could be at $8.45, and if the bullish sentiment sustains, the price will go high. Conversely, a strong bearish trajectory of Helium could take the price to the immediate support near $8.14.
