While it’s near the overbought territory, it’s not extended to suggest bulls have room to explore more gains.
Cronos’ daily chart also shows the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with a bullish crossover, which suggests potential for further upside.
If CRO sees another leg up, it could break above $0.10 and target $0.16 and $0.21. Long-term forecasts include a surge to the all-time high of $0.96 and the psychological $1 level.
On the flipside, Crono’s price may give up gains and pull back to support around $0.087 and then $0.079.
On the possible pullback, analysts at Santiment say:
“Bitcoin traders are leaning very bullish once again with crypto’s top coin’s market value sitting just above $108.5K. Be cautious while crowd FOMO is pouring in, as it can often lead to short-term corrections.”
