THORChain jumps 9.73% to $0.609 today

Highlights

RUNE/USD is trading in a bullish structure above major moving averages with intraday price at $0.609, up 9.73%.
Momentum indicators are strong and support sustained upside, though overbought readings and volatility raise the risk of a short-term reversal.
Expected price range over the next two to three trading days is $0.58 to $0.6307, with immediate support at $0.575.

Momentum signals strong buyer pressure amid overbought conditions

RUNE/USD is trading above the MA-20 at $0.5781 and the MA-50 at $0.5594 on the h1 timeframe, with the long-term MA-200 well below at $0.4418. The Ichimoku Kijun provides immediate support at $0.575. On the momentum side, both MACD and ADX display bullish conditions. RSI is elevated at 78.91, and the Commodity Channel Index remains overbought, which, along with the neutral Stoch RSI and dominant Bull/Bear Power readings, suggests strong buyer pressure but a developing reversal risk. The Awesome Oscillator continues to favor upside momentum.

Consolidation likely with upside bias unless support fails

Over the next two to three trading days, the expected price range for RUNE/USD is $0.58 to $0.6307 based on typical volatility. The most probable scenario is a consolidation phase, but there is a very high probability of an upward move; a reversal lower appears much less likely unless selling pressure intensifies enough to push the price below immediate support at $0.575.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent bullish momentum for RUNE as prices hold above key moving averages and momentum indicators remain strong. Yet, he notes significant overbought signals and an absence of supportive news, raising caution on sustained upside. The most likely scenario is a consolidation below resistance, with reversal risk increasing if support at $0.575 fails. "Until RUNE can sustain gains above $0.6307 on convincing volume, I remain defensive and wait for clearer confirmation of trend direction."

Earlier, analysts noted that THORChain had established a bullish technical structure supported by strong momentum indicators. The current analysis affirms this view, highlighting the importance of monitoring $0.575 as immediate support since a decisive break below this level could shift the prevailing scenario toward consolidation or reversal.
