Chiliz price forecast: The $0.051 resistance level remains a key challenge
The CHZ/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient as Chiliz has outperformed the broader cryptocurrency market.
The cryptocurrency market is currently trading above key support levels thanks to its recent rally. The momentum indicators also suggest that the buyers could push CHZ’s price higher in the near term.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 58 shows that the bulls have regained control but still have more room for growth.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line has turned positive, with the histogram marginally above zero, hinting at a steady rally.
If the bullish scenario continues, the buyers would face immediate resistance at the recent swing high of $0.051.
A daily candle close above this level would allow the bulls to extend the rally towards the $0.057 resistance and then the January high at $0.064.
However, if the sellers regain control, immediate support would emerge around the $0.047 Inducement Liquidity (ILQ).
Failure to defend this support level would expose the other major zones around the $0.043 and $0.041.
