BAND experienced a tremendous 7,500% growth this year. Following the massive growth, the token experienced a 65% correction starting in September. However, the downward pressure slowed down, and we are now in a consolidation phase.
The Opportunities BAND was previously caught in a descending channel on the 4h chart. On the 24th of September, the token broke this channel and entered a consolidation phase. When an asset consolidates, it is usually stable and moves a few percentages at most. BAND, however, is a different beast. Even in its consolidation period, BAND still has a 45% margin from top to bottom, meaning that if you buy at the bottom of the range and sell at the top, you stand to gain 45%.
Catching the whole trend is almost impossible. However, even by cashing in half of it, you stand to gain over 20% profit.
Taking Advantage of the Opportunities There are different ways to take advantage of this consolidation period. The most basic approach is by trading based on support and resistance. The lower range stands around $5, while the upper range is around 7.5$. However, the token doesn’t always reach the bottom or the top, and it usually ranges around the middle. Therefore buying BAND at 6$ and selling at 7$ ensures a decent profit margin with a healthy amount of trading opportunities.
Another way of taking advantage of these opportunities is through the use of technical indicators. Momentum indicators are best suited for ranging periods. Some of the most commonly used momentum indicators include: the Stochastics, RSI, Williams %R, and the MACD.
