YFI price on the way to a massive breakout towards $40,000
YFI has established a long-term ascending parallel channel on the 12-hour chart and bulls have defended the lower trendline support at $26,000 in the past week. The 50-SMA level at $31,500 is acting as a strong resistance level.
YFI/USD 12-hour chart
The In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) chart shows only one crucial resistance area between $30,190 and $31,000 which coincides with the 50-SMA, adding a lot of credence to the breakout of this resistance. Climbing above this point will push YFI price towards $40,000 as there are no other barriers on the way up.

The IOMAP chart also shows that the area between $29,200 and $30,140 with 7,540 YFI in volume is the strongest. A breakdown below this point will push YFI down to $27,300. However, losing this critical support level can send YFI down to $22,000.
