As the buyers finally deny the bears an extended sell-off liberty at the $12.8 -support, WAVES flipped the month-long trendline resistance (white) to support. The altcoin’s recent gains were in contrast to the market’s trajectory over the last day.
While the current buying rally moved WAVES above its 20 EMA (red) and 50 EMA (cyan), a well-founded close above the $14.3-level would open doorways for further recovery. At press time, the alt traded at $14.3787, up by 10.72% in the last 24 hours.

WAVES sailed south since the inception of April while puncturing through its Point of Control (POC, red). It lost over 81% of its value from the 31 march ATH and swooped toward its multi-week low on 4 May.
As the $11-$12 range reignited some buying pressure, the bulls finally snapped the month-long trendline resistance and turned it to support. Meanwhile, buyers propelled WAVES above the 20 EMA, 50 EMA, and the POC after the gains in the last 24 hours. Consequently, the upper band of the Bollinger Bands (BB) looked north and eyed to break out of the low volatility phase.
Now that the alt has jumped above the POC, any sustained close above the $14.3-mark could expose WAVES to test the $15-$16 range. The high volatility phase could bag in some well-needed gains before the sellers step in to initiate a correction. Should the buying vigor wane, potential reversals could find testing grounds at the immediate trendline support near the POC.
