Chart of the day
CHZ/USDT daily chart
Chiliz (CHZ) dipped to $0.0544 at the time of writing on Friday. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows green histogram bars above the neutral line. However, traders need to watch closely for signal line crossover above MACD line, as this would signal a reversal in the underlying momentum.
CHZ could correct 7.80% and drop to support at $0.0503. If there is a daily candlestick close above the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $0.0559 and $0.0568, it could invalidate the bearish thesis.
CHZ could then rally toward resistance at $0.0638.

Bitcoin: Will BTC continue its ongoing decline?
Bitcoin (BTC) trades above $59,000 on Friday, but it has lost 7.5% this week so far after being rejected around the daily resistance of $65,000.
