Chart of the day: Dogwifhat (WIF)

Dogwifhat (WIF) ranks among trending crypto tokens that yielded double-digit gains for traders in the last 24 hours, offering 14.57% gains for holders on Binance spot markets during the mentioned time frame. 

WIF trades at $2.607 at the time of writing. The meme token could add 13% to its value and rally to the lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $2.935 and $3.220, as seen in the WIF/USDT daily chart below. 

Conversely, the meme coin could find support at the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $2.376. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows green histogram bars above the neutral line. There is positive momentum underlying the WIF price trend. 

WIF/USDT daily chart

A daily candlestick close below $2.538 could invalidate the bullish thesis. In that case, WIF could sweep liquidity at the lower boundary of the FVG at $2.389.
