Different moving averages (MAs) help us better identify trends across multiple time frames. We use 3 basic MAs to find out which sentiment dominates each horizon. The purple line represents the monthly , the green line the 6 months and the yellow line the annual moving average. As we can see in the chart below, medium- and long-term MAs are still in bearish sentiment. However, the monthly MA could be an important support in event of a further decline.

The basic technical analysis points to a declining trend, as the market price has been creating lower lows and lower high since the end of 2020. Therefore, according to our estimate of intrinsic value, the market price is well below the negative (261 USD ) scenario. The positive scenario (492 USD ) estimates the intrinsic value at new historical highs. The last dynamic rebound, after a decline of almost 60% , began in the demand zone (green rectangle). The psychological level 170 along with the short-term moving average can also be a very strong technical area.
