Compound (COMP) Defies Bearish Trends With a 3+% Price Ascent

  • COMP’s price rose by more than 3% over the past day despite the cryptocurrency market going through a bearish slump.
  • Many believe COMP was benefiting from Curve Finance’s recent troubles.
  • A daily close above $74.66 may clear a path for COMP to rise to $85.19 in the coming week.

Compound (COMP), a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform, experienced bullish momentum today, surging by 3.69% to $74.66, according to CoinMarketCap. This happened despite the fact that the digital currency ecosystem is going through an emphatic bearish slump, leading to major losses for some of the most popular cryptocurrencies.

COMP’s 24-hour success enabled the altcoin to gain strength against the two market leaders, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). At press time, COMP was up 3.13% and 3.75% against BTC and ETH, respectively. Furthermore, the cryptocurrency’s trading volume during this period surged by over 200%, reaching $169,596,804 as a result.

The significant rise in the cryptocurrency’s price has brought short-term gains and propelled its weekly performance further into the green zone to an impressive +11.33%. COMP’s latest feat has piqued the DeFi community’s interest as well, particularly in light of the recent exploit of Curve Finance.

At press time, the Curve DAO (CRV) token had dropped by more than 12% following the compromise of Vyper 0.2.15 due to a defective re-entrance lock. Surprisingly, instead of facing a decline itself, Compound was benefitting from Curve’s troubles, despite both protocols operating in a closely related niche.

Daily chart for COMP/USDT (Source: TradingView)

COMP’s price had attempted to break above the key resistance level at $74.66 earlier in today’s trading session, but bears were able to force it back below the mark. As a result, the altcoin’s price was also resting on the 9-day EMA line at press time.

Should it break below this technical indicator, COMP’s price may then be at risk of dropping between the 20-day EMA line at $68.28 and the next major support level at $66.66. Continued sell pressure could even push the altcoin’s price to as low as $59.27 if it breaks below the positive trend line that had formed on its daily chart over the past few weeks.

On the other hand, a daily close above the aforementioned $74.66 mark may lead to COMP rising to $85.19 in the upcoming week. This bullish thesis will be invalidated, however, if COMP closes a daily candle below the 9-day EMA line in the next 48 hours.

Shiba Inu Poised To Destroy A Zero: Here's When

Image
The Shiba Inu network is setting its sights on a significant milestone in the world of crypto currencies: the eradication of a decimal point.

While this journey may be lengthy, it is by no means unattainable, and the SHIB community is abuzz with anticipation.
