 DYDX price chart

The MACD and daily RSI suggest bulls remain in control short term. However, the price might need to strengthen above the horizontal line that marks the range’s base for upside momentum to extend DYDX to next targets at $2.70 and $3.20.

If sell-off pressure mounts amid risk markets slowdown, we could see prices in the region of $1.54-$1.36.
