Ontology has lost 26.45% of its value in 2020. The coin ranked 30 on the CMC list and had a market cap of $301.91 million. It was being traded at $0.4576 while the immediate resistance was close at $0.5558 and support was at $0.4048. Even though the coin’s price was trading up, with a sudden price fall, this trend was inverted.
According to the indicator, Awesome Oscillator, the price momentum has reduced and turned bearish. However, since the momentum was low, there was a chance of this trend reversing in the near future.
All this was an impact of Bitcoin’s massive fall of 11.93% within 2 days. The price of the largest crypto-asset was slashed from $9,890 to $8,710.25 but has fallen further to $8,689.92, at press time.
