NEO’s technical picture
Considering the steady growth within the recent 24 hours, NEO/USD is vulnerable to the downside correction that may take place in the coming days. The first barrier on the way down comes at $17.00 with the middle line of 10hour Bollinger Band located on approach. A sustainable move below this handle will open up the way towards the next psychological level $16.00 followed by $15.30 (SMA50 – Simple Moving Average – on 1-hour timeframe). This area is likely to slow down the correction and serve as the jumping-off ground for the next bullish leg.
On the upside, the strong resistance is created by psychological $19.00, it is followed by $19.40 (upper line of Bollinger Band on 1-hour chart) and the recent high of $19.80. The next hurdle awaits NEO bulls on approach to critical $20.00. Most likely, NEO bulls will have a hard time cracking this resistance, though, Once it is cleared, the upside will gain traction with the next focus on $25.30 (the highest level of September 2018).
