Key Takeaways:
- Yearn Finance’s native token, YFI, started a year-end rally on Dec 29 that saw it jump by over 51%.
NEW DELHI (CoinChapter.com) — Yield optimizer platform Yearn Finance’s Dec-end rally continued into the new year, as the platform’s native token YFI surged to gain more than 51% in just over four days.
The YFI price jumped to nearly $42,000 on Monday before prices pulled back. The relative strength index for the token is near the overbought region, clocking 67.98 on the daily charts. However, the RSI trendline receded as prices pulled back after Monday’s 9% jump.
Yearn Finance prices challenged the $42,100 resistance level on Jan 3, but the rally was rebuffed. If bulls manage to push past YFI’s immediate resistance, Yearn Finance could see prices reach near $44,500. If RSI holds inside neutral regions, the YFI coin might rise to challenge the $46,000 price level before prices pare.
On the other hand, if retail traders try to profit from the Yearn token’s ongoing rally, the resulting sell-off might push prices to immediate resistance near $38,700. Moreover, decreasing volumes coupled with the rising RSI levels likely indicate a price correction in the works for YFI.
