Compound: Breaking OutTo stay up-to-date with the latest market developments, be sure to subscribe to Kraken Intelligence at kraken.com
With DeFi largely underperforming its peers over the past few months, it comes as no surprise that we're starting to see bullish momentum rotate back into the space over the past few days. This is evident when looking at DeFi's total value locked (TVL), which just jumped from $52.5B on Monday to today's reading of $59.8B. Compound (COMP) is among the various DeFi plays that appear to be regaining bullish momentum...
If you're not familiar with Compound, what you should know is that Compound is a software running on Ethereum that aims to incentivize a distributed network of computers to operate a traditional money market. Compound uses multiple cryptoassets to provide this service, enabling the lending and borrowing required without a financial intermediary like a bank. Put simply, Compound allows users to deposit cryptocurrency into lending pools for access by borrowers. Lenders then earn interest on the assets they deposit. Once a deposit is made, Compound awards a new cryptocurrency called a cToken (which represents the deposit) to the lender. Examples of cTokens include cETH, cBAT and cDAI.
Now, moving onto the technicals... Per the 1-day chart provided above, we can see that COMP punched through $555 resistance earlier today and climbed to an all-time high of $593. With COMP having traded between $400 and $555 since February, today's breakout appears to have bucked said trend. Assuming we see COMP close above $555, and turn said resistance into support, we could see COMP enter back into price discovery mode as DeFi heats up yet again. But as always, where BTC trends next will likely dictate whether or not COMP can push higher.
COMP Inverse H&S BreakoutCompound looks to be another alt that is experiencing a neckline breakout from an inverse head and shoulders pattern.
It looks like a slight retracement is now occurring which has the potential to break down below the neckline still, however, assuming the trend continues, it has a bit of potential upward as indicated by the head to neckline length extended after the breakout (dashed blue line).
There is a similar breakout occurring against COMPBTC, so it looks like there is some potential to outpace BTC over the next few days as well if the breakout continues. I suppose we shall see soon if the breakout becomes more definitive in the next day(s) or so.
Picking up some COMPI should've got some COMP back in the move over 175. Or the momentum move through the 200's. Or during the previous consolidation in the mid 300's. However I didn't so I'm chasing momentum here. Not a great entry but I think there's more to run. I'm super bullish on Ethereum right now but I'm already in that position so putting a little in COMP as a related play as people discover how big the Ethereum space is and all the ways money is being made there. We're still in the middle of the crypto bull run so even mistakes are likely to eventually get bailed out (looking at you XTZ).

$COMPUSD - Long on Triangle and FlagHello everyone!
Compound is traded inside a symmetrical triangle, the projection on the chart is theoretical based on the price action.
There are two points where I suggest to close long positions, 1 - based on the flag pattern, 2 - based on the triangle pattern.
You can partially close position at 1 and wait for 2, up to you.
The best point to keep in mind in all chart pattern trades is wait for a breakout, the best of the best is wait for a breakout and retest, so wait for a signal and perform the necessary trade.

Compound Looks Set To Continue Rallying! BUY COMPUSDCompound has just completed a 3 wave correction and it could potentially start rallying from here. If the market does indeed start rallying from here then we can expect the first target to be at the 141.0% Fibonacci extension of the previous impulse leg.
Compound looks set for a march northCompound looks really attractive based on the trading signals. It has also formed a bullish pennant.
The problem with these trading signals is that they aren't always that accurate with assets that have such a small market cap. Nevertheless, its looking interesting.

COMP at Critical LevelCOMP is at the bottom of the pitchfork support and is going to have to choose a direction soon. A breakout up would be rather bullish, and if (after some consolidation) it could break above the top of pitchfork I will double down on my position, as the pitchfork will act as a VERY strong support. However, a break down would be short term bearish and I would expect it to stay below the pitchfork for some time.
