IOTA struggles to control the downfall. Outlook negative!

IOTA was developed to work as the base of operations as a completely decentralized ledger for the internet of things. The entire ledger technology was based on a directed acyclic graph named tangle that enabled transaction processing without relying on blockchains. It ruled out the need for validators and miners by saving millions of dollars to work for a growing economy. The token takes the 66th spot with a market capitalization of $596 million and 100% of the token in market circulation.

With growing internet devices in the market, the applications of such a productive distributed ledger and the internet of things seem more applicable in recent scenarios. The token has taken several downtrends, with the last one emerging in November of 2021. The decline hasn’t been able to create a positive breakout trend since the last year, implying more pressure on holders to exit in search of more positively trending cryptocurrency. 

IOTA Price Analysis

IOTA is facing severe flak in maintaining its dominance in the upper market trends. Facing systematic rejections has allowed sellers to dominate the price movement. As FTX issues created selling pressure, IOTA’s immediate support level transitioned into a resistance level.  

On short-term price action, IOTA seems to have witnessed sudden events of massive supply demands, with token values reaching minor peaks. As it faces continuous rejection from the 100 EMA curve, IOTA seems to be headed toward a downtrend with consolidative actions. During the decline since last month, RSI has maintained a consolidative stance, while the MACD indicator is showcasing the initial sign of a recovering trend.

The support level of $0.23 has now turned into a selling zone, where sellers are incentivizing the sell-on-rise strategy. The only silver lining in the entire downturn of events seems to be just the positive emergence from the regression trend showcasing the token to be trading in a comparatively positive zone. 

On weekly charts, IOTA has returned to its pre-2021 breakout level of $0.20, indicating a no-demand zone at higher price bands. The technical indicators are moving in a narrow zone with no hopes for a positive breakout in long-term timelines. IOTA has been one of the worst-hit cryptocurrencies losing over 93% of its value since its peak of $2.74.
