- THORChain price flipped a four-hour resistance level at $4.68 into a support floor.

THORChain price ready to move higher
THORChain price has been on a downtrend for nearly seven weeks and has shed 41% so far. The recent move, however, seems to have flipped the $4.68 hurdle into a support floor, indicating a key shift in market structure favoring bulls.
Moreover, this flip of the hurdle into a support floor comes with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossing above the 50 mean level, adding credence to the uptick in bullish momentum. Awesome Oscillator has also moved above its 0 mean level, further denoting a sustained increase in bullish momentum.
Going forward, investors can expect THORChain price to kickstart a 10% move to the daily resistance level of $5.22. In its ascent to the target, RUNE holders can book partial profits at $4.88 hurdle.
RUNE/USDT 4-hour chart
While the bullish outlook for THORChain price is logical and backed by supporting indicators, investors need to note that the volatility after Bitcoin spot ETF approval has reduced on a relative basis. Therefore, the rally might be extremely slow or in some cases, it could fail to propel higher.
In such a case, if there is a spike in selling pressure that pushes THORChain price to produce a lower low below $4.45, it will invalidate the bullish thesis. In such a case, RUNE could crash 4% and tag the January 8 swing low at $4.27.
