Realistic or not, here’s MKR’s market cap in BTC terms
The surge of liquidity providers moving to MakerDAO could help extend MKR’s strong bullish outlook with the lower timeframes offering more buying opportunities.

Between 2 August to 7 August, MKR registered a 14% dip after the price soared above $1300. This could have been a result of the significant decline in whale transactions at the beginning of August.
However, this dip didn’t derail bulls, as shown by the Fib retracement tool on the daily timeframe. Buyers rallied strongly from the 50% Fib level ($1186) to keep MKR above the $1200 price level.
The on-chart indicators highlighted the bullish outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) dipped out of the overbought zone but retained the buying pressure with a reading of 61. The On Balance Volume (OBV) also continued to trend higher, showing good demand for MKR.
Based on the Fib levels, buyers can target profit levels at $1287 (23.6% Fib) and $1350, just below the $1378 resistance level. On the flip side, a price rejection at any of the Fib levels above the current price could swing the momentum in favor of bears.
