OMG Network Price Forecast: OMG awaits 52% run-up after 12% retracement

• OMG Network price is undergoing a temporary correction that could retest the $8 level.
• The MRI warns of an incoming cycle top suggesting a pullback around the corner.
• On-chain metrics show increased adoption and whale activity that justifies a bounce after 12% retracement.

The OMG Network price faces the threat of a reversal that could set the stage for enormous gains in the near future.

OMG Network price begins correction

The OMG Network price created two higher lows that formed a series of highs around the supply barrier at $7.97. If the swing points are joined using trend lines, an ascending triangle pattern evolves.

The technical formation is inherently bullish and projects a 52% upswing to $12.2, determined by adding the pivot high and low distance to the breakout point at $7.97.

On April 4, OMG broke out of the setup as it surged 40%. However, this uptrend halted as it faced a local top at $11.37. Since then, the OMG Network price has dropped nearly 20% and shows signs of continuing this downtrend.

The primary reason for such bearishness is the preemptive cycle top signal flashed by the Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI) in the form of a yellow candlestick on the 12-hour chart. A potential close above $8.7 will trigger a reliable cycle top signal, which forecasts a one-to-four candlestick correction.

In such a case, the ascending triangle’s base at $7.97 will serve as a stable demand barrier. Hence, investors need to keep a close eye on $8.7 and $7.97 levels since these levels are crucial in establishing a direction for the OMG price.

Supporting the short-term retracement is Santiment’s 30-day MVRV model for the OMG Network price, which spiked to 30% and is on a pullback as well. This metric helps identify if the market participants are in profit or loss.

For OMG, 30% seems a reliable cycle top signal since investors have booked profit around this level, creating price tops several times.

While the short-term picture does look bearish, the number of participants on the OMG Network seems to be rising while the whales go on an accumulation spree. Such a combination paints a bullish picture, suggesting that a bounce from the $7.97 level seems likely.

Based on IntoTheBlock’s In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) model, the demand barriers are stacked up to $7.98. Hence, a retracement beyond this level seems unlikely.

Further confirming the 52% uptrend is the lack of resistance levels up to $10.60, where roughly 68,000 addresses that previously purchased 4.36 million OMG tokens are “Out of the Money.”

During the reversal, the OMG Network price needs to surge past these levels to signify the buyers’ strength.

New addresses joining the OMG Network have increased by 100% over the last month. A total of 957 new market participants created new addresses, suggesting their interest in OMG at the current price levels.

Similarly, transactions worth $100,000 or more have skyrocketed by 2,400% in the last month. This surge serves as a proxy to high net worth investors’ investment in OMG.

The bullish narrative for the OMG Network price relies solely on a bounce around the demand barrier at $7.97. A decisive close below $6.83 will invalidate the bullish outlook.

In such a scenario, the OMG Network price could slide 4.5% to $6.51.
