Verge / USD Short-term price analysis

In the short-term, Verge is bearish and has been gradually declining since the middle of January. Price is creating bearish lower highs and lower lows with traders selling any upside rallies.

The XVG / USD pair is fast approaching its 2018 trading low as recent bearish selling pressures accelerate, a sustained move below this key trading low would be an important technical development for this cryptocurrency.

Failure to breach the November low would likely provoke a sizeable buying reaction, as traders have previously struggled to breach this important low.

Pattern Watch

The series of bearish lower highs remains the dominant theme over the short-term horizon. The November trading low is also a key area to watch.

Verge / USD Medium-term price analysis

The XVG / USD pair appears to be testing towards its former yearly trading low after recently staging a bearish breakout under the neutral triangle pattern.

Technical indicators on the daily time frame are starting to turn lower and suggest the bearish breakout maybe valid.

Pattern Watch

Although a breakout has occurred, medium-term traders will likely watch closely for a series of bearish daily price closes under the triangle pattern for further technical confirmation.

MACD Indicator

The MACD histogram is turning lower alongside the signal line, with the indicator showing no bullish divergence on the daily time frame.

Conclusion

Verge appears to be headed for another technical test of its former yearly trading low; this is likely to be a major deciding point for Verge over the short, medium and longer-term horizons.

The long-term downtrend and the recent bearish breakout below the triangle pattern on the daily time frame suggests the path of least resistance for the XVG / USD is still to the downside.
