Degen [DEGEN] saw a substantial boost to its prices in October. The unofficial token that began as a memecoin on the Base network now has a market capitalization of $124.6 million.

Retracement phase is in progress for DEGEN crypto

On the 4-hour chart, the market structure flipped bearishly on Tuesday the 15th of October. The trend, which had been bullish so far, could slip into a short-term bearish trend that signifies a retracement phase for DEGEN.

The RSI has fallen below the neutral 50 to indicate momentum was on the side of the sellers. Yet, the OBV did not agree with those findings.

The Fibonacci retracement levels outlined the key support levels. Given the reduced selling pressure, it is likely that the 50% level at $0.0796 would serve as support and push prices higher.
