Yaz Sheikh May 12, 2021 12:23
EOS surged more than 60% over the past 24 hours and it set a new high at $14.87, not seen since June 2018. EOS is also strong against BTC as it returns to the October 2020 highs after hitting 26,190 SAT.

EOS/USD – EOS Returns To Highs Not Seen Since June 2018

Key Support Levels: $13, $12.30, $10.78.
Key Resistance Levels: $14.85, $16.50, $17.75.

EOS exploded by a total of 63% yesterday upon the announcement that BlockOne raised $10 billion to launch a new exchange. Upon the news, the coin surged from $9.00 to reach above $14 by the end of the day. Today, it continued to climb to hit $14.87 – a price not seen since June 2018. There, it met resistance at a 1.414 Fib Extension and has since rolled over to the current $13.25 level.

EOS had started to surge at the start of May before the announcement was made. Last week it climbed from $6.00 to break a long-term resistance trend line and reach $13. From there, it did drop lower until support was found around $9.00 at the start of the week.

EOS-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at $14.85 (1.414 Fib Extension). This is followed by $16.50 (1.618 Fib Extension), $17.75 (1.272 Fib Extension – red), $19.25 (1.414 Fib Extension – red), and $20.

On the other side, the first support lies at $13. This is followed by $12.30 (.236 Fib), $10.78 (.382 Fib), $10, and $9.55 (.5 Fib).

The RSI is showing signs of bearish divergence as price action creates a new high while the RSI fails to do so. This could be a signal of an imminent retracement incoming which might push EOS back toward $10 in the short term.

EOS/BTC – Bulls Approach October 2020 Highs

Key Support Levels: 22,175 SAT, 20,000 SAT, 17,700 SAT.
Key Resistance Levels: 26,190 SAT, 27,500 SAT, 29,600 SAT.

EOS is also performing very well against BTC itself. It started the month beneath 12,000 SAT as it began to climb higher in the first week of May to reach a high above 22,000 SAT. It started to fall last week until support was found around 16,000 SAT over the weekend.

The news of the new exchange caused EOS/BTC to surge yesterday as it rebounded from 16,000 SAT and surged above 25,000 SAT. Today, it continued to hit 26,190 SAT before rolling over to the current 22,900 SAT level.
