Maker Price Analysis

After a bearish movement over the current month, Maker seems to have put the first step towards stability as of now. Yesterday, it was trading at $455 with a flattish trend. However, over the next 15 hours, MKR/USD faced a sudden decline.  By 16:40 UTC, the price fell to $449.80, but then, it managed to regain the upside momentum and marked a steep hike.

Over the next four hours, the MKR price climbed up to $470, the highest point for Maker throughout the day. Later, it couldn’t retain the uptrend for long. With a few ups and downs, it moved through a slope and retested the $455 price level again. After hitting $455, the Maker managed to show steady upward movement, and at the press time, it managed to cross $460.

Despite the recent surge, the MACD shows a bearish crossover as of now. The next few days may witness a volatile movement in the price of MKR. However, there may be a support for the coin at $455.
