What’s Behind Maker’s Showstopping 48-Hour, Almost 40% Rally?
Advertisement

Decentralized finance tokens all over the crypto market are soaring. First, it was Compound stealing the limelight with yield farming, then recently, it was Aave (LEND) with a shocking 300% surge. Now it appear’s to be Maker’s turn.

Is this massive rally in Maker really due to DeFi continuing to defy all odds, or is something else at play? And what do technical indicators potentially say about the altcoin asset?

Make Way For Maker’s Nearly 40% Surge in 48 Hours

Over the last 48 hours, the crypto asset known as Maker has been making many investors happy. The nearly 40% rally left a large wick behind that ate away at gains, leaving only 13% returns to show for the impulse.

The two-day performance is still nothing to sniff at, potentially closing out the day with 10% leftover from the surge.

Maker is the latest DeFi token to shine over the last several weeks. The growing crypto craze is showing no signs of slowing down as both projects and investors continue to jump on the bandwagon.

Could Maker simply be the latest token to experience a hype-driven pump as altcoin investors shuffle from coin to coin?

All across markets right now, a “Great Rotation” is going on. Bitcoin profits are rolling into altcoins. Nasdaq composite and tech stock profits are pouring into the S&P 500. And in DeFi, capital is flowing from one project to another looking for the next big thing.

Fund managers warn against taking such risks and sticking to the primary movers in the DeFi market, which is why Maker may suddenly be pumping.

Unlike the shining new stars of DeFi, the major players like Ethereum and Maker have been slow to follow. But the two assets started pumping alongside one another yesterday, and it could be the start of something more.

The Start of a New Uptrend, Or DeFi Trend Taking Over?

On the MKRUSD trading pair, Maker is showing a strong push into resistance built up over the last two years of price action. At a glance, it looks like the altcoin will have a hard time getting through, but the surge is accompanied by a breakout in volume.

Coinciding with the breakout of trading volume, the Average Directional Index is showing a massive bullish trend forming. It is the largest bullish impulse on the Directional Movement Index over the last two years, and it is only just getting started.

If the ADX itself can rise over the dotted line and a reading of 20, a strong uptrend will confirm. The ADX is also looking bullish on the MKRBTC trading pair, which shows a lot more room above resistance to climb.

The Average Directional Index is a trend measuring tool, that is suggesting that Maker is about to begin a strong uptrend. It also could be a sign that the DeFi trend is only getting stronger, and any lagging investors need to get on the hype train before its too late.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
