- EOS has a bearish market structure and failed to break above USD 0.64.
- A slow move higher to a Fibonacci retracement level before continuing the downtrend into a higher time frame was a possibility.
EOS received regulatory approval in Japan last week, sparking a wave of positive short-term sentiment in the market. Given that Japan has a strict financial regulatory framework, the network’s efforts to comply with regulations boded well for long-term holders.

While long-term investors can wait a long time for a real bull run, traders can expect reasonable gains in the coming weeks. EOS was trading at $0.589, and the late-August rebound failed to break the local resistance at $0.644.
The Fibonacci retracement levels are plotted for the losses since July. They showed that the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels were at $0.676 and $0.714, respectively. A retest of USD 0.714 would be ideal before another decline, and it happened recently.
The rejection of $0.815 in mid-July came from the 61.8% retracement level of the previous decline. The RSI continued to trend downwards, while the OBV has yet to beat its July highs.

Realistic or not, here is the market cap of EOS in terms of BTC
Over the past week, market sentiment turned bullish as prices rebounded, hitting $0.64 on Aug. 29. The OI rallied higher, but regained all of these gains as the market fell back to $0.58.
Aggressive swing traders can buy EOS around $0.6, with a tight stop-loss around $0.55. The bullish target would be the USD 0.67 and USD 0.71 levels, but a bearish reversal was likely after that. Alternatively, a move below USD 0.55 could also lead to losses.
