WAVES price crashes 50% in one week — watch these support levels next

cointelegraph.com:

Waves (WAVES) lost around half its value in April so far and risks further correction due to weakening technical and fundamental factors.

WAVES dropped from nearly $64 on March 31 to around $27.50 on April 7 — down by over 55%. As it fell, the WAVES/USD pair also broke below a key support confluence, hinting further correction.

Notably, the confluence comprises WAVES' 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA; the red wave) and the 61.8% Fib line of the Fibonacci retracement graph — drawn from $64-swing high to $8.34-swing low.

Now broken, they suggest that WAVES' path of least resistance is to the downside, with $25 acting as interim support due to its historical relevance as a price floor in October 2021 and March 2022.

Additionally, WAVES' daily relative strength index (RSI) also shows room for a further decline, being only 11 points away from slipping below the "oversold" threshold of 30.

Meanwhile, breaking below $25 would risk crashing WAVES' price to its 200-day simple moving average (200-day SMA; the orange wave) near $20, coinciding with the 0.786 Fib line, about 30% lower than today's price.

The bearish setup emerged amid allegations that equaled the Waves Platform with a "Ponzi," namely a Twitter thread penned by 0xHamZ, who accused Waves' team of artificially inflating the price by more than 650% from February to March.

Meanwhile, Neutrino USD, a "stablecoin" backed by WAVES reserves, also lost its U.S. dollar peg following 0xHamZ's accusations, further dampening market sentiment.
