Tezos, the technical picture
The daily RSI (Relative Strength Index) stays in the overbought territory, though it still points upwards. It means that the coin retains bullish potential in the long run. However, the price jumped above the upper lines of both daily and weekly Bollinger Bands, which makes it vulnerable to the downside correction with the fist aim at $1.5500.
On the upside, a sustainable move above the intraday high will open up the way to $1.7000.
