MKR set for 54% gain?

At press time, MKR faced resistance at the 1,418 level, where a notable selling pressure has emerged. However, if it breaks through this level, MKR could see a substantial gain of 56.91%, targeting $2,203.

If bearish pressure increases, MKR might see a slight pullback, testing support near $1,102, where previous buying interest has been strong.

AMBCrypto’s analysis of broader market activity indicates an overall bullish outlook for MKR.

Trader bids fuel uptrend

Trader bids are supporting MKR’s upward momentum, driving notable gains in the market.

Over the past 24 hours, MKR’s OI has risen by 13.67% to $120.30 million according to Coinglass, signaling a gradual takeover by bullish traders.

OI tracks the volume of active, unsettled derivative contracts, and the increase indicates that long traders currently hold more positions, potentially pushing the asset’s price higher.

Additionally, the Funding Rate, which measures which side of the market is maintaining positions to balance the spot and futures markets, is also being driven by long traders.

As of the latest data, the Funding Rate stands at 0.0211%, a notable increase, suggesting that bullish sentiment is strengthening.

If this trend persists, it indicates continued upside potential as long traders expect further gains.
