Sep 08, 2022 at 11:00 // Price

Which cryptocurrency was the biggest loser of the week?

Cryptocurrencies are in a downtrend after being rejected at the superior resistance levels. Altcoins are in a move below the moving average lines. There is a risk of further decline when the price bars are below the moving averages.

Nexo


Nexo (NEXO) is in an uptrend, but is encountering resistance at the $1.21 high. The altcoin has retreated below the 21-day line SMA. In other words, the cryptocurrency is trading between the moving average lines. NEXO will resume its uptrend if the price rises above the 21-day line SMA. The altcoin will rise and reach the resistance at $1.21 again. A break above this resistance will signal the resumption of the uptrend. 


Conversely, the downtrend will resume if the price breaks below the 50-day line SMA. The current uptrend should be over. NEXO will continue to fall to the low of $0.57. Meanwhile, the altcoin is below the 20% range of the daily stochastic. This means that the market has reached the oversold zone. Selling pressure will ease when buyers appear in the oversold region. NEXO is the cryptocurrency asset with the lowest performance this week. It has the following characteristics:
