Tron price technical picture

At the of writing, Tron is trading at $0.0144 and still fighting the seller congestion at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level taken between the last swing high at $0.02685 to a swing low at $0.007342. Buyers have control over the price despite them being unable to clear the resistance. For instance, the MACD is in the positive region and bullish divergence from it still encourages the buyers to stick to the market and focus on higher milestones at the 200-day SMA ($0.0169). On the downside, initial support is formed at $0.0140 while other key support areas include the 50-day SMA ($0.0123), $0.0120 and $0.0100.
