NEWSBTC
The general cryptocurrency market cap is down today by 0.73% at
$1.06 trillion, But OKB is still recording positive price momentum
today despite the general slump. The token has enjoyed a steady
rise on the price charts since January 2023. OKB is trading
above $40 as bulls drive its price. This positive price pattern
could be attributed to several announcements and partnerships
within the OKB ecosystem. Related Reading: On-chain Activity

Behind OKB’s Rally? OKB set a new all-time high on
February 6, 2023, of $45.20. Although the asset’s price has
retraced slightly below that level, it continues to trade in the
green. Let’s consider some factors that might be driving the
current positive trend. The OKX network hinted at big news that
will drop next week. The announcement has thrown the community into
a frenzy, with users wondering what the development team has
planned. This news links to Floki, a popular crypto project.
Floki partnered with CherrySwap, the largest
decentralized exchange (DEX) on the OKX blockchain. OKX’s
successful collaboration with Floki on projects in the past makes
this announcement a welcome development to its users. So, members
of the OKX community anticipate whatever is coming as positive and
could extend the current bullish trend. Most cryptocurrencies
benefit from this social media hype and positive news in their
ecosystem. So this anticipation could be fuelling the OKB price
momentum. Secondly, OKX, the network behind the OKB project,
launched its self-custodial wallet and an all-in-one wallet. The
wallet serves as an NFT marketplace, decentralized applications
(DApps), Decentralized Exchange, and DeFi Yield; such projects can
also help an asset’s price. They might push the current OKB rally
further. OKB Price Prediction, Is This Rally Sustainable? The token
is currently in an uptrend, trading at $44.01 after hitting a new
all-time high of $45.20. The candlesticks formation is in an
ascending triangle pattern with higher highs and higher lows on the
price chart. This price uptick can be traced back to the golden
cross formation on the chart when the 50-day Simple Moving Average
crossed over the 200-day SMA. Since then, the price has increased
gradually. OKB is trading above its 50-day and 200-day SMA
indicating that the price sentiment for the short-term and
long-term is bullish. The asset is currently trading inside a price
channel. It will likely break to the channel’s upside if it can
overcome the closest resistance level of $46.14. The support levels
are $36.99, $38.69, and $41.57, while the resistance levels are
$46.14, $47.83, and $50.71. The Relative Strength Index
(RSI) was in the overbought zone above 70 earlier today but
retraced to 64.34. It will likely return to the overbought region
if the bulls sustain their charge. The Moving Average
Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is above its signal line and is
pointing upwards. It reflects the superiority of the bulls in the
market at the moment. Expect OKB to pull back slightly before it
rises again, surpassing its all-time high as it breaks the $46.14
resistance. However, if the asset loses its price momentum, it
might be challenging to rally back to its former price.

In 2023: Santiment Altcoins and meme coins have a lower market cap
when compared to market leader Bitcoin. So they can deviate from
their past price behavior and lose 50% of their value. At that
level, it is usually harder to rally back to their original price
due to the speculative nature of the crypto market. So investors
must consider this. Featured image from Pixabay and chart
