NEO Breaks Down and Approaches 2021 Low Range

NEO has managed to hold on above a long-term horizontal support level but has broken down from both a diagonal and horizontal short-term level.

NEO has been falling since May 7, 2021, when it reached a high of $246. The decrease continued until a local low of $16.13 was reached on Jan 24.

During the week of Jan 24-31, the price bounced at the $17.20 horizontal support area. Previously, this level had acted as resistance since April 2019, prior to a breakout in January 2021. 

However, the upward movement was short-lived and NEO is approaching the $17.20 area once again. 

So far, it has decreased by 86% measuring from the aforementioned all-time high.

Ongoing decrease

The daily chart shows that NEO has been following underneath a descending resistance line since Sept 1. While following this pattern, it broke down from the $26.50 horizontal support area on Jan 5 and validated it as resistance on Feb 18 (red icon). 

If the downward movement continues, the next closest support area would be found at $13.50.

Technical indicators in the daily time frame are leaning on bearish.

This is evident by the decreasing MACD and RSI.

The MACD, which is created by short and long-term moving averages (MA), is negative and falling. This means that the short-term MA is slower than the long-term average and is a sign of bearish trends.

The RSI, which is a momentum indicator, is below 50. This is also a sign of a bearish trend. 

Therefore, readings from the daily time frame indicate that a decrease toward $13.50 is likely.

The two-hour chart shows that NEO has broken down from an ascending support line.
