THETA Token Sets its Eyes on $8, 200-day MA Providing Adequate Support
With respect to price action, Theta Token (THETA) is currently defending the $7.50 price area as support as it sets its eyes at reclaiming the $8 price level with the new month of June.
A quick glance at the daily THETA/USDT chart below reveals that the token’s 200-day moving average (green) provided solid support during last month’s crypto market meltdown catalyzed by speculation that Tesla had sold its Bitcoin and China reiterating its ban on BTC mining and crypto trading.

Also from the chart, it can be observed that the 100-day (yellow) moving average and 50-day moving (white) average, are now acting as resistance above the $9 price level.
In addition, the daily MACD, RSI and MFI are in oversold territory and pointing towards a trend reversal for Theta Token (THETA) leading up to the launch of Mainnet 3.0 at the end of this month.
