On May 19, it reached the 0.786 Fib retracement support level at $0.00000821 and bounced upwards. However, the bounce has been quite weak so far.

If it resumes, the $0.0000155 area is now likely to act as resistance.

However, shortly after, it broke out from a descending resistance line.

EOS

EOS has been moving downwards since May 12. So far, it has decreased by 58% from local highs. 

On May 19, it reached the $5.30 area, validating it as support. The area has been reached twice since April 2021. The level provided some relief for EOS this past week, but it’s still struggling to move upwards with conviction.

If it can continue moving upwards, it will likely face heavy resistance around the $9.50 level.

QTUM

QTUM has been moving downwards since it reached a high of $35.65 on May 7. The drop continued until May 19, when QTUM reached a low of $7.27. This was the lowest price since March 25 and also allowed a retest of the $7.80 area as support.

It has bounced considerably since, increasing by 75%. 

The main resistance levels are found at $18.20 and $21.55. These are the 0.382 and 0.5 Fib retracement levels, respectively.

OKB

OKB has been falling since reaching a high of $44.35 on May 3. It reached a low of $9.60 on May 19. 

While this appeared to cause a breakdown from an ascending support line, OKB has created a long lower wick and reclaimed the line.

The bounce from the lows has been substantial, measuring 124%. However, OKB has yet to reclaim the $22.50  breakout level. Until it does, the trend cannot be considered bullish.
