DASH is about to relinquish another support with $19 in focus

  • Dash blockchain enables online payments for over 10,000 digital merchants and retailers.

  • DASH has fallen by 2.25% in 24 hours, increasing weakness at a support.

  • Price could proceed to $19 if it fails recovery at $40.

DASH, the crypto token of blockchain platform Dash, is down 2.25% in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency has fallen by almost 75% this year. DASH still has more room to fall as most cryptocurrencies edge lower. 

Initially developed as a privacy-preserving blockchain, Dash evolved to streamline online commerce. The project’s code was copied from Litecoin. The protocol was meant to allow efficient and less costly payments than Bitcoin. The blockchain boosts 1-second transaction speeds. Currently, Dash is a payment partner for at least 10,000 online merchants. On its website, Dash mentions more than $4.48 billion payments volume in Q4 2021.

The growth of DeFi and digital transactions is a plus for DASH. However, DASH investors may have to put up with a bear market. This analysis finds that DASH could find the next support at $19.

DASH weakens further at the $40 support

DASH is deeply in the bear zone, as the MACD indicators show. The cryptocurrency is yet to cross above the 21-day moving average since November 2021. The current $40 price level is a support zone, but DASH is showing signs of breaking below. If the $40 fails to hold, DASH could settle at $19. The level coincides with the price it was back in 2017 before the bull run. Investors should consider buying lower after further declines in the token.

Summary

DASH holds onto the $40 support. However, bearish momentum is on, and the cryptocurrency could break below. The price of DASH could settle next at $19, a 5-year low. Investors should wait to buy at lower prices.

Should you buy Crypto.com token as price slides to support?

  • Crypto.com token CRO is bearish at a support zone.

  • CRO weakness is connected to the crypto market and slashed card rewards.

  • The cryptocurrency is almost 10 times below its all-time high.

Crypto.com’s token CRO/USD is barely worth $0.1. The price is a slap for a token that once traded almost at $1. At the current price, CRO trades at a support zone, and investors could be looking to add positions. But, should you buy it now?

We investigate the reasons why CRO has fallen substantially despite numerous sponsorship deals. The bearish crypto sentiment has, of course, been the main source of weakness. The weakness has been connected to actions by central banks to tighten policy. Yet again, on Wednesday, the US labor department reported an annual 9.1% jump in inflation. The increase was higher than estimates of 8.8%. CRO proceeded down after the inflation numbers, which stoked fears across all markets.

Another factor has been responsible for CRO declines in recent weeks. In early May, the crypto exchange announced a reduction of card rewards to customers. The move underlines similar actions taken by crypto firms to remain liquid in the current market. CRO crashed by double digits following the slashed rewards. The token is yet to recover as investors remain cautious. We believe with such developments, CRO is not a buy at the moment and could fall further.

CRO is close to the oversold bottom, but weakness is on

Technically, CRO is almost oversold, with an RSI reading of 35. However, the reading is insignificant considering the weak crypto fundamentals. From the daily chart, the cryptocurrency has remained below the 14-day and 21-day moving averages. At the current level, CRO is at a support zone, offering a potential bullish reversal. Nonetheless, the price is extremely bearish, and a further drop is imminent. 

Summary

Crypto.com token is under bear control as inflation numbers surpass estimates. The price sits at a support zone, but further declines are possible. We do not encourage a buy at the support.
