Short-term technical perspective

EOS/USD hourly chart

The spot is on the verge of a bullish pennant breakout, with an hourly close above 2.4768 likely to validate the pattern. The bulls will head towards the pattern target at $2.5695.

Bolstering the bullish momentum in EOS/USD is a golden cross (50-HMA crossing above the 200-period HMA) spotted on the hourly sticks. While the coin trades above all major HMAs, the hourly Relative Strength Index (RSI) lies flat in the positive territory near 66.0.

Alternatively, a break below the rising trendline support at $2.4620, the pattern will fail, opening doors for a test of the bullish 21-HMA at $2.4050. The aforesaid level is strong support, which could cap the retreat in the near-term.

To conclude, the upside remains more compelling amid the bullish technical set up on the said time horizon.
