NEM's XEM bucks the trend early and will need to hold above $0.0442 levels to avoid a reversal later in the day.
NEM’s XEM fell by 0.47% on Wednesday. Partially reversing a 3% gain from Tuesday, NEM’s XEM ended the day at $0.04432.
A particularly bearish start to the day saw NEM’s XEM slide from an intraday high $0.04546 to an early morning intraday low $0.42919 before finding support.
The start of the day slide saw NEM’s XEM come within range of the first major support level at $0.0427, whilst falling short of the first major resistance level at $0.0460.
Finding support from the broader market, NEM’s XEM recovered to a late in the day $0.04473 before falling back into the red by the day’s end. NEM’s XEM was amongst just a few of the top 20 cryptos to see red on the day.
The extended bearish trend, formed at late April’s swing hi $0.46547, remained firmly intact in spite of 2 consecutive weeks in the green. NEM’s XEM continued to fall well short of the 23.6 FIB Retracement Level of $0.1359 following 6th February’s new swing lo $0.03405.
At the time of writing, NEM’s XEM was up by 0.07% to $0.04435. Early moves saw NEM’s XEM fall from a start of a day morning high $0.0447 to an early morning low $0.04416 before finding support. The day’s major support and resistance levels were left untested early on.
NEM’s XEM would need to hold above 0.04420 levels through the morning to support a move through to $0.045 levels to test the day’s first major resistance level at $0.0455 before any pullback. We would expect NEM’s XEM to pegged back from a breakout from $0.0455 levels on the day, with Wednesday’s high $0.04546 likely to limit the upside on the day.
Failure to hold above $0.04420 levels through the morning could see NEM’s XEM slide through to $0.0430 levels to bring the first major support level at $0.0430 into play before any recovery. In the event of an extended broad-based crypto sell-off through the day, NEM’s XEM could return to $0.042 levels before any recovery.
