OMG Network Price Rallies
Despite Bitcoin only being down -2.34% the last week, many altcoins fell significantly yesterday when BTC witnessed a sharp sell-off. During todays session, many of the top altcoins failed to see any notable corrections. If we take a look at the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap, OMG Network was the market outlier, surging +16%. Based on CoinMarketCap, OMG Network is currently the 38th largest digital asset.
OMG Price
At the time of this report, OMG Token is trading at $3.025. Most recently, OMG built off $2.55 support and saw a relatively strong rally compared to the overall markets. With OMG having limited historical data, it is expected to experience high amounts of volatility in the near term.
Based on the data we have, it seems as if $2.55 is a strong support level. If OMG fails to hold that level, it could experience a very sharp sell-off. The reason for this is again the lack of price data. With OMG Token having its genesis date in 2017, it is a much newer cryptocurrencies than most. Its epic run in August has left the technicals very few support levels. In August of this year, OMG Token surged from $1.50 levels all the way to highs around $6.44. As Visionary Financial reported in late August, OMG experienced a +230% surge, fueled by the announcement that Tether was going to leverage the Ethereum based token.
Following the bull run, OMG Token quickly gave up gains, quickly retracing ~ 60%. Despite OMG being one of the outliers the last 24 hours, it is important to note that the token will continue to be volatile based on its premature status.
