Compound (COMP) Breaking Out, Targeting $67, Analyst Says
COMP token price may jump to $67 level, analyst says, here’s tailwind it needs now
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has shared a COMP chart that shows that the popular DeFi token is breaking out and has good odds of soaring higher if it can find enough support from buyers.
“Compound appears to be breaking out”
Martinez tweeted that COMP, at the moment, is going through the descending triangle pattern of a symmetrical triangle that formed on the four-hour COMP/TetherUS Perpetual Futures chart on Binance.
The trader believes that if the wave of buying pressure surges, it can push the token’s price up by about 24%, in the direction of the $67 level. The main condition here is that COMP has to hold the $50 support.
“A spike in buying pressure could COMP up 24% towards $67 as long as the $50 support holds.”
