The Graph Price Analysis: GRT Slips 0.16% as Coinglass Data Depicts Bearish Sentiment

The Graph price is bleeding, having plunged 0.16% at press time, with the GRT/USD trading at $0.183. However, its 24-hour trading volume has skyrocketed 41% to $50 million, signaling intense market activity among traders and investors. Meanwhile, the GRT price boasts a 5% increase in the past week, 25% in a month, and 108% in a year. 

Despite the outlook, data from Coinglass suggest some bearish prospects in the market. This is evident as the Graph’s Long/Short Ratio plunged slightly below 1, currently at $0.95. This signals that the average open position in the Graph Market is bearish.

The Graph Price Bears Aim to Break Below the Rectangle Channel 

Over the past few days, the graph price has been confined to an ascending channel, allowing buyers to control the narrative. The GRT bulls seem to have capitalized on the golden cross at around $0.1468 on September 21, quashing the seller congestion in the market. However, over the past few days, the Graph price has been stuck in a tight range, with the upper limit/resistance at $0.1928 and the lower limit/support at $0.1815.  

Based on the four-hour chart, the GRT price sits on top of key support areas, reinforced by the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) (green) at $0.1807 and the 200-day SMA at $0.1529. Meanwhile, a bearish candle is on the verge of breaking the support at the channel’s lower boundary if the bulls do not gain stamina at this level.

Moreover, the traders and investors who bought the GRT price within the rising channel may have commenced early profit booking, weakening the uptrend. This is reinforced by the RSI pulling back from the nearly overbought region, currently at 47. This suggests that the bears have stepped into the market. Increased selling pressure could cause the RSI to slip to the 30-oversold zones.

On the other fence, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator reinforces the bearish outlook. While traders sought exposure to GRT as the blue MACD line crossed above the red signal line, they were likely to close positions if the opposite happened. In other words, traders will sell GRT unless the blue MACD line flips above the orange signal line.

The Graph Price Outlook

In the 4-hour chart above, the bulls seem to be retracing in search of liquidity before a significant uptrend. The bears are taking over, with the Graph price expected to break below the consolidation phase. In such a case, recovery from the current position might be a pipe dream. This is evident as the bears press the GRP price towards the support level at $0.180 (coinciding with the 50-day SMA). 

Therefore, investors might have to consider another sweep through lower support areas, such as $0.1577. After collecting more liquidity, bulls can begin to build momentum for another attack at $0.192, determining whether the GRT price continues above the $0.2 level.
