On a higher timeframe, CAKE/USDT prices had been quite volatile in the past couple of months but still failed to generate a positive return for investors. In June prices tested yearly lows at $ $2.485 and consolidate a for short span of time, later in August, prices reclaim 50 day ema (pink) which picked up some positive momentum and faced next resistance at $5.120 Recently in November,FTX collapse drived negative sentiment in market which also impacted CAKE and dragged the prices again back to support zone $3.577

The 200 day ema (green) at $4.826 sloping downwards indicates a trend to remain weak on a positional basis. The 50 day ema (pink) at $4.070 will act as an immediate hurdle for bulls on coming days. As of now prices had broken previous week low and may approach an important support level of $3.577 and if prices slipped below $3.577 we may see further downside towards yearly low support zone at $3 and below.
