Analyst view & Expectations

Token showed bullish momentum in previous days, but this is not a trend change; it is a pullback or retracement after a significant drop in token price. Token will continue its downward journey until it breaks above the resistance levels. Investors are advised not to buy  now and to wait for trend confirmation. Intraday traders, on the other hand, have a strong opportunity to go short now that a long upper wick has developed on the daily time frame; stop loss should be placed as per risk to reward ratio.
