DigiByte Price Analysis
At the time of writing, DGB is ranked 51st cryptocurrency globally and the current price is $0.0379 AUD. This is a +61.39% increase since 21st December 2020 (7 days ago) as shown in the chart below.
If we see the above 4-hour candle chart, DGB did a strong breakout from the falling wedge pattern at $0.0285 AUD price levels & is now heading towards its major resistance of the month. After BTC made a new all-time high in its price and Altcoins are also rising in a bullish trend, DGB looks well-positioned to hit the next high price levels.
“The Falling Wedge is a bullish pattern that begins wide at the top and contracts as prices move lower. This price action forms a cone that slopes down as the reaction highs and reaction lows converge.”
What do the technical indicators say?
The DigiByte TradingView indicators (on the 1 day) mainly indicate DGB as a buy, except the Oscillators which indicate DGB as a neutral.
So Why did DGB Breakout?
The recent rise in Bitcoin over 100% since the halving in May and then the suggested start of the Altcoin season could have contributed to the recent breakout. Another reason for this sudden pump in price could be the whales secretly buying DGB for the next Altcoins rally & it could also be contributed to some of the recent news from Top DigiByte Influencers.
