Chart of the day: Book of Meme (BOME)
BOME ranks among the top cryptocurrencies that yielded relatively high gains for holders in the past 24 hours. The technical indicators on the daily price chart support a bullish thesis for BOME.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows green histogram bars above the neutral line. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) nears 63 with more room until the indicator hits the “overbought” region at 70.
BOME could extend gains by 8.2% and test the resistance at $0.01050. It marks an important resistance, which was breached successfully only once in over two months.
BOME/USDT daily chart
If BOME closes under the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.00933, it could invalidate the bullish thesis for the meme coin. BOME could sweep support at a level that coincides with the FVG at $0.00834.
