🚨 MERL’s 22% Rally: Bullish Bliss or Bearish Blunder? 🚨

by

Ah, Merlin Chain (MERL), the Bitcoin Layer-2 project that promises faster, cheaper transactions-because who doesn’t love a good magic trick? 🪄 The token’s up 22.5% in the last 24 hours, hovering near $0.31. Over three months, it’s still up 171%, which sounds impressive until you realize it’s down 15% in the past month. Oops, someone forgot to wave the wand properly. 🧙‍♂️

So, the million-dollar question (or should I say, the 0.31-dollar question?): Is this rally the real deal, or just a flashy illusion? The charts, my friends, are not pulling any punches. They’re whispering-no, shouting-“bull trap!” And let’s just say, it’s not the good kind of trap, like the one that catches your neighbor’s cat. 🐱

Rally? More Like a Temporary Spell of Optimism

Back in June, when MERL was on its merry way up, the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) were best buddies, moving in perfect harmony. RSI, for the uninitiated, measures buying and selling strength-basically, it’s the mood ring of the crypto world. 🌈 But lately? Not so much. The price made a higher high, but RSI was like, “Nah, I’m good,” and made a lower high. Classic bearish divergence. It’s like showing up to a party where everyone’s leaving early. 🎉👉👈

And then there’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), the snitch of the crypto world, tattling on whether big buyers are still in the game. Spoiler alert: they’re not. From September 21 to November 26, while MERL’s price was making higher highs, CMF was like, “I’m out,” making lower highs and dipping below zero. That’s right-the big money is ghosting MERL. 👻💸

The 22% spike? More like a last-ditch effort to save face. The candle right after turned red, proving that sellers saw the rally as their cue to exit stage left. 🎭 When RSI and CMF are waving red flags while the price is hitting new highs, it’s not a rally-it’s a bull trap. And you know what they say about traps: they’re only fun if you’re the one setting them. 🤡

Key Levels: The Plot Thickens

Now, all eyes are on MERL’s price levels, because drama loves a good cliffhanger. The first major resistance is at $0.38. If MERL closes above that, it might-might-weaken the divergence setup and aim for $0.48, then $0.57. But let’s be real, it’ll need CMF’s blessing, and that’s a tall order. 🙏

If MERL fails to clear $0.38 and drops below $0.28, the reversal party gets louder. The line in the sand is at $0.21. A daily close below that, and it’s official: the uptrend is toast. 🍞🔥 And for those who bought in at $0.57? Well, let’s just say they’ll be telling their grandkids about the great MERL bull trap of ’23. 📉

The moral of the story? MERL’s 22% rally might have saved the short-term chart, but it also exposed the fading momentum and big-wallet apathy. If these key levels don’t hold, this spike will go down in history not as a triumph, but as the moment the downtrend began. And let’s face it, no one wants to be the punchline of a crypto joke. 🤡💔
