MKR Token Price Analysis
In the daily chart, MakerDAO’s MKR token price exchange showcases a falling wedge pattern. Since December, the MKR price has dropped from $2425 to $1521.
The ongoing pullback phase puts the $1500 psychological market at risk. The downfall has broken under the 200-day, 50-day, and 100-day EMA lines.
Furthermore, it increases the chances of a bearish crossover between the 50-day and 100-day EMA lines. During the pullback, the RSI line dropped below the halfway level and consolidated slightly at 40%.
Hence, the technical indicators are giving a bearish outlook of the short-term MKR price trend.
Based on the Fibonacci level, the downfall has broken under the 38.20% Fibonacci level at $1,680. If the bearish trend continues, the downfall is likely to continue under the 23.60% Fibonacci level.

The support zone extends from $1,413 to $1,434. The significant difference between demand and supply is highlighting a potential downtrend.
Currently, the money zone for the MKR token extends from $1,435 to $1,602 with 120.18K MKR tokens held within 6.7K addresses. While these addresses hold the fate of the upcoming price trend, the immediate levels hint at a bearish continuation.
In such a case, the MKR token is likely to test the $1,400 psychological mark.
