At the time of writing, it had touched the support line for the fifth time.

The previous time it did so, an upward move ensued and the DASH price reached the resistance line.

Will it do so again?

Possible Reversal

A closer look at the daily time-frame shows that there are two instances of bullish divergence currently developing.

DASHBTC Daily Chart

Firstly, the MACD has been generating higher values since May 13. This is in stark contrast to the price, which has been decreasing.

The divergence was especially evident during the lows of June 27 and July 3.

Secondly, the RSI has also been generating divergence, albeit at a shorter time-frame. It has only been doing so in the period from June 27 to July 3.

The combination of these two indicators makes it likely that the DASH price will soon begin an upward move.

Let’s take a look at the short-term to see when that will occur.

Short-Term

Since reaching a low of ₿0.0131 on July 4, the DASH price has been trading inside an ascending triangle.

DASHBTC 60 Chart

The resistance line of the triangle is at ₿0.0140.

The ascending triangle is considered to be a bullish pattern and is projected to end on July 6 at 12:00 the latest.

A look at the short-term moving averages (MA) also supports a breakout from this pattern.

DASHBTC 60 Chart

On July 4 the 10-hour MA crossed above the 20-hour one.

This is known as a bullish cross and often indicates that an uptrend has begun.

The combination of long-term momentum indicators and short-term MAs makes it likely that the DASH price will break out of the triangle soon.

If it does, where will it find resistance?

Resistance Areas

A resistance area is outlined for the DASH price below:

Summary

The price of DASH is trading slightly above a very significant support area.

Both long and short-term indicators suggest that an upward move will occur soon.
