There is a visible short-term rise in the price, supported by a rising moving average and positive signals from MACD. If all goes as estimated, the price might go cross R1 to reach R2, but before that price, the immediate resistance present at the $10.41 mark must be broken.
If RIOT drops below the immediate support at $7.78, it shall bounce from S1 while consolidating its way to touch R2. S2 acts as a strong solid support. The price might come near it, but breakthrough chances are slim.
