THORChain price chart with signals
Today's THORChain signal explained
THORChain is currently on a daily BUY signal: the Supertrend (10, 3) indicator flipped bullish 29 days ago and the price ($0.5400) is trading above its 200-day simple moving average ($0.4405). Both the short-term trend and the long-term regime filter agree, which is the only condition under which this system issues a daily buy.
The weekly swing signal is BUY. THORChain broke above its 20-day closing high 29 days ago and has not yet closed below its 10-day low (currently $0.4800). A close under that level would end the swing position.
The monthly position signal is BUY. THORChain cleared its 55-day closing high 29 days ago. The exit for this slower rule is a close below the 20-day low, now at $0.4570.
The yearly regime is ACCUMULATE: price is above a rising 200-day moving average. In the last five years this has been the environment in which most of the sustainable upside in THORChain and in the wider crypto market has occurred.
Momentum check: the 14-day RSI is at 66.3. MACD is above its signal line. ADX at 40.1 indicates a strong trend. Volume is 0.96× its 20-day average. Over the last 7, 30 and 90 days THORChain has moved +5.1%, +26.5% and +32.4% respectively; it trades -57.7% from its 52-week high and +68.2% above its 52-week low.
