Rune price has been in bearish trend after it faced resistance from the $1.70 level and broke the major support level of $1.21. After the break, the price entered into a consolidation zone ranging between $1.07 and $1.20.
During the start of June, the crypto market took a major hit as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) took legal action against the major crypto exchanges which caused a decline in the value of many cryptocurrencies.
On June 10, Rune price broke the support level of $1.07 and formed support at $0.79. Recently, the cryptocurrency’s price started to gain bullish momentum and started to rise toward $1. The move was halted at $1.01 and the price retraced slightly to form support at the $0.95 level. It again gained bullish momentum and shattered the resistance of $1.01.
Currently, the price is facing resistance from $1.10. The previous candle closed as a strong bearish candle and the current candle has broken the low of the previous candle. The price is currently headed toward the resistance turned support level of $1.01.
If bears can push the price below $1, there is a possibility that the price might head toward the support level of $0.95. A break of $0.95 would push the price further below toward $0.79, causing an overall loss of roughly 21.52% from the $1.01 support level. On the other hand, if the price can break the resistance level of $1.10, the next target for the price is $1.21, which would cause an increase of approximately 9.99%.
