- EOS drops below $7.00 amid growing bearish pressure.
- James Mendes from Citibank will join Block.One
EOS is the worst performing virtual currency from top-10. The coin has lost 4.3% on a daily basis and nearly 7.5% since the start of the day as a sustained break below $7.00 handle increased the bearish pressure. EOS market cap slumped to $5.9B from $6.1 on Tuesday, while average daily trading volumes settled at $541M.
The intraday picture is clearly bearish as the coin trades well below all 1-hour MAs. Stop orders triggered on a break below $7.00 level exasperated the pain and pushed EOS/USD to $6.59, which is the lowest level since April 11. If the price fails to get back above $7.00 in the nearest future, the downside may be extended towards $6.00 and $5.70. On the upside, $8.00 is the ultimate resistance for the coin. It is strengthened 78.6% Fibo level and both 100 and 50-SMAs on 4-hour chart.
