Since its ATH in may last year, Maker (MKR) has been on a persistent decline. On its daily chart, the alt witnessed an 11-month trendline resistance that served as a strong selling point to date.
From here on, MKR would likely continue its patterned oscillation and eye to retest its trendline resistance before falling towards the $2,200-mark. The bulls needed to overturn the long-term liquidity range (Point of Control/POC) for any hopes of adjusting the trend in their favor. At press time, MKR traded at $2,155.5, down by 8.7% in the last 24 hours.

Post floating above $6,300, the bears initiated a gradual but aggressive downslide over the last 11 months. MKR was down by 76.1% from its lifetime milestone as it plunged to witness its one-year low on 24 February.
The 23.6%, 38.2% Fibonacci levels and the trendline resistance shunned all bullish recovery attempts over the past year. Thus, the bears have refrained from giving the buyers a free hand and kept the price below the POC since the beginning of this year.
Considering the strength of the current up-channel (yellow) rally, a possible revival from the 20 EMA (red) would set MKR up for a retest of the $2,400-mark. Further, a reversal from the trendline resistance could cause a patterned breakdown that could lead to a further fallout. For the bulls to claim any advantage, they have to find a close above the POC and topple the 23.6% Fibonacci level.
