Render Rises, Bitcoin Dips-Traders, Beware!

Render has rallied 16.55% in a day and 24% in a week, according to CoinMarketCap data. That is an excellent start to the new year, which has also seen the Bitcoin [BTC] Dominance fall from 59.61% to 59.21% πŸŽ‰. Ah, the thrill of the chase!

This drop, though minor, suggests a potential altcoin market rebound. Investors should not expect an altseason, but can be a little more optimistic about tokens that show relative strength when compared to the wider market. πŸ₯

Render [RENDER] is one such token. It is one of the leading AI tokens by market cap, and the AI and big data sector has witnessed increased attention recently. πŸ€–βœ¨

The market cap of the AI sector in crypto has grown from $16.63 billion at the start of January to $18.96 billion at the time of writing. A 14% growth in the sector within a week-proof that even in crypto, the future is bright… or at least, it’s trying. πŸ’‘

This was a 14% growth in the sector within a week, highlighting capital flows into this market. Should Render investors buy more to profit from the increased attention? πŸ€”

Long-term Render trend was not encouraging

The 1-week chart illustrated that the decentralized GPU compute platform token was in the depths of a bear market. It is too early to say if the market has reached a bottom. It has found support at $1.32, a support level previously tested in September 2023. πŸ»β€β„οΈ

Therefore, the price bounce was likely to be minor. To the north, the $2.82 level coincided with a local swing high that was highly likely to cut short further gains. 🚫

The risks of shifting to a bullish bias

Bitcoin [BTC] was still trading below the $94.5k key local resistance. How dare it not break through! πŸ§ πŸ’Έ

The Render rally came on a weekend, which generally has reduced liquidity available, and prices can pump more easily. The 34% increase in Open Interest was a sign of speculative interest, which could induce higher short-term volatility. πŸ“ˆπŸ’₯

Traders’ call to action- Time to turn short-term bullish

The dropping Bitcoin Dominance and the rising altcoin market cap were small, short-term signs of strength. It was unclear if it was sustainable, but traders should be open to the possibility. πŸ§β€β™‚οΈπŸ’Ό

Right now, Render traders already in long positions could look to take profits and wait for a pullback to $1.50 buy. Santiment data showed that the recent rally did not see sizeable onchain token movements, which signal profit-taking activity. πŸ“‰

Therefore, a breakout past the local $1.90 resistance and a retest would also present a buying opportunity. 🎯

Final Thoughts

  • There was a good chance that the AI sector in crypto, including Render, would continue to trend higher in the following week. πŸš€
  • A breakout past the $1.90 local resistance could give Render bulls a buying opportunity targeting $2.82. πŸ“ˆ
