IOTA’s technical picture

On intraday charts, IOT/USD capped by $0.2900 with SMA100 (4-hour) located above the said barrier. Once it is cleared, the recovery may be extended towards $0.2990-$0.3000. This resistance is created by a confluence of an upper boundary of 4-hour Bollinger Band and SMA200 4-hour.

On the downside, the local support lies with $0.2850 (lower boundary of 1-hour Bollinger Band). It is followed by psychological $0.2800 and $0.2770 (lower boundary of 4-hour Bollinger Band).

Considering the downward-looking intraday RSI the further downside correction looks likely at this stage. However, the sell-off may be limited by $0.2600.
