Decentaland Price is in limbo looking for a clear directional setup

MANA price trades at $0.82, 81% below the year 2022 high around $3.55. After testing the high, the price has been trading in a descending channel.

On the daily chart, MANA  gave a breakdown of the “Rising Channel” pattern, which extends from the lows of $0.59 made on May 12. However, the price broke the lower trend line on August 21.

An impulse fall was witnessed in the price from the resistance with a nearly 25% loss. MANA breakdown its previous swing low, making lower lows on the daily chart. The volumes were declining, with the rising price of a MANA, which implied a concern for the bulls. When the market is rising while volume is declining, big money is not the one buying, more likely slowly exiting positions.

There is a higher probability of price giving a pullback, before giving any sharp fall again in the coming future. We can expect a pullback between 38.2% ($0.926) to 50% ($0.9685). Fibonacci retracement levels. The “Buy on Selling” opportunity is the best course of plan to go with. 

MANA on the hourly chart formed a  bullish “Head & Shoulder” pattern.

Now, if the price gave a closing above $0.85 on the hourly chart amid sustained buying, we can expect a bullish momentum up to the pullback levels, mentioned above. 

The nearest support is the swing low, which is $0.82, and the nearest resistance is at $0.85. There is a higher probability of the price breaking the upper level on a lower level.
