While the recovery has been capped on approach to $140.0, the coin retains an upside potential as long as the price stays above $130.00 handle. Once it is cleared, the bearish momentum might gain traction with the next focus on $123.50 (4-hour SMA100 – Simple Moving Average and middle line of 1-day Bollinger band). It is followed by psychological $120.00 and $112.00 handle (23.6% Fibo retracement for a downside move from December 2017 high and SMA200, 4-hour).
