Momentum on NEXO is predominantly bearish; negative MACD histogram and price position below EMA20 confirm short-term weakness. RSI at 42 level is neutral but plays a supportive role in the downtrend.
Trend Status and Momentum Analysis
NEXO’s current price is at the 0.93 USD level and has recorded a 2.81% decline in the last 24 hours. The daily range is stuck between 0.93-0.96 USD, with volume at quite low levels of 1.10 million USD. The overall trend direction shows a clear downward bias; the Supertrend indicator gives a bear signal and draws resistance at the 1.05 USD level. In terms of momentum, the price remaining below EMA20 (0.96 USD) strengthens the short-term bearish pressure. Across multiple timeframes (1D/3D/1W), 13 strong levels have been identified: 3 supports/3 resistances on the 1-day chart, 1 support/3 resistances on the 3-day, and 3 supports/2 resistances confluence on the weekly. This confluence indicates concentration of critical supports at 0.9039 (score 76/100), 0.9260 (66/100), and 0.8570 (62/100) levels. Resistances are in the 0.9512 (84/100), 1.0096 (73/100), and 1.1036 (67/100) band. Volume confirmation is weak; volume staying low on declines signals a lack of conviction in bearish momentum. This situation could increase the potential for a sudden recovery, but overall momentum still maintains its downward dominance.

RSI Indicator: Buy or Sell?
RSI Divergence Analysis
RSI (14) is currently positioned at 42.31, indicating a neutral zone but offering a mildly bearish reading in the context of the downtrend. A regular bearish divergence can be observed in the recent period: while price makes new lows, RSI shows slight higher lows, but this divergence has not yet turned into a strong bullish signal. Hidden divergence is almost nonexistent; RSI is largely following the price decline. This structure shows that momentum has not exhausted but carries potential to approach the oversold region (below 30). If RSI drops below 40 and a positive divergence forms there, a short-term rebound signal could emerge. For now, divergence analysis supports the continuation of selling pressure.
Oversold/Overbought Zones
RSI at 42.31 is far from overbought (above 70) zones and has not yet reached the oversold (below 30) boundary. This neutral level leaves room for trend continuation; staying below 50 in a downtrend strengthens sell signals. Historically, RSI around 40 on NEXO has led to consolidation periods. RSI holding at this level during volume-unsupported declines provides a clue that momentum may weaken. Observers should watch if RSI makes a crossover toward 50; an upside break would be a buy signal, a downside break would confirm new lows.
MACD Signals and Histogram Dynamics
The MACD indicator is giving a clear bear signal: the histogram is in the negative zone and showing a narrowing trend, but the signal line remains below the MACD line. This crossover confirms bearish momentum. The histogram bars starting to shrink in the negative area may indicate slowing bear momentum – contraction is observed instead of expansion, which is a potential reversal warning. Nevertheless, the distance from the zero line shows selling pressure dominance. The slight narrowing of the histogram with the price drop in the last 24 hours, influenced by lack of volume, may signal bear fatigue. A bullish crossover should be expected if MACD approaches the zero line; in the current situation, short-term sell signals are prominent. This dynamic suggests NEXO could be pulled to supports before testing the 0.95 resistance.
EMA Systems and Trend Strength
Short-Term EMAs
Short-term EMA20 (0.96 USD) is positioned above the price, confirming the bearish short-term trend. There is congestion between EMA10 and EMA20, with the ribbon sloping downward. Volume increase is required for price to break above EMA20; with current low volume, this looks difficult. Short-term trend strength is weak, momentum favors bears.
Medium/Long-Term EMA Supports
Medium-term EMA50 is estimated around 0.98 USD, while long-term EMA200 forms resistance at 1.10 USD levels. The EMA ribbon is congested and sloping downward, indicating reduced trend strength. Reaction buying may come if price approaches EMA50, but Supertrend’s 1.05 resistance prevents breaking this ribbon. Remaining below EMA200 in the long term preserves the overall bearish structure. Ribbon dynamics require a golden cross between EMA20-50 for momentum recovery.
Bitcoin Correlation
Bitcoin is at 89,886 USD level and in a bear trend with a 3.38% decline in the last 24 hours. BTC’s main supports are 88,335, 86,637, and 85,058 USD; resistances are 90,944, 92,983, and 98,378 USD. BTC Supertrend gives a bear signal and rising dominance creates caution for altcoins. NEXO shows high correlation with BTC; a BTC break below 88k could push NEXO to 0.90 supports. If BTC breaks above 90k, relief could come for NEXO, but the current BTC downtrend is suppressing altcoin momentum. Observers should prioritize BTC levels.
Momentum Outcome and Expectations
In conclusion, NEXO momentum indicators reflect bear dominance: RSI at 42 neutral-bearish, MACD negative histogram contraction signaling weakness but no crossover, price below EMAs, and low volume lacking conviction. Bullish target 1.1485 (score 41), bearish 0.6918 (score 22). Short-term, 0.9039 support is critical; a break could lead to movement toward 0.8570. Above, 0.9512 resistance should be tested. Overall outlook bearish, but RSI divergence and MACD contraction warn of reversal. Volume increase with confluence will be direction-determining. Market is volatile; follow updates on spot and futures platforms.
