The RSI was at 42 and denoted bearish momentum for MANA. It has been below the neutral 50 mark since 20 March, once more underlining the shift in momentum on that day.
Even though the recovery from $0.5 reached $0.677 within a week from 11 to 18 March, the price has steadily declined from $0.8 since early February.
The 1-day timeframe chart also showed that the structure was bearish. It indicated the possibility of a pullback to $0.42, and possibly as deep as $0.29-$0.33.
These were the two regions that had been important back in January, before the strong pump reached $0.84 on 2 February.
