Relative Strength Index

We begin analyzing the price of Binance from Mar 1 to Apr 17 alongside the MACD and moving averages (MA).

Moving averages are tools used in technical analysis to smooth out price action. It is a lagging indicator since it is based on past prices. The relationship between short and long-term moving averages can help in identifying the beginning and end of a trend.
The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages (long and short-term) and the price. It is used to measure the strength of a move.
Both of these are shown in the chart below:
Moving Averages ADA

On Apr 17, the price of ADA moved below the 10- and 20-day moving averages. Furthermore, the 10-day MA is in the process of crossing below the 20-day MA. This is known as a bearish cross and may indicate that the current trend may be over. Similarly, the MACD made a bearish cross on Apr 9. Finally, we can see that the price has been following an ascending support line since Mar 3. The use of these indicators suggests that price decreases towards the ascending support line are to be expected. Price decreases along a downtrend could be expected in the near future.

Future Movements

Support areas are created when the price revisits the same level several times. If a breakdown occurs, they provide possible reversal areas.
