Market context

On the weekly timeframe, RUNE has seen a solid accumulation strategy between the $4 and $3.2 price point, which has now played out with around a 50% movement from the middle of that range. This price action has positioned RUNE as one of the top movers recently, which aligns with historical price activity.

Key points to note

  • Buying pressure between $4 and $5 is confirmed by the wicks observed in March and May, where price dipped intraday but closed above, showing strong buyer interest.
  • The $5 level remains crucial, with historical support that could play a key role in determining the next leg of price action.

Current playbook

Hypothesis: RUNE is holding firm within its established accumulation zone, and with key support and buying pressure around $4 to $5, there's potential for significant upside if we reclaim and consolidate above $5. We're watching for any indication of a 130% move from this region, based on historical market reactions.

Key levels

  • $4 to $5 Range: Continues to be the key accumulation zone. A breakout above $5 is essential for confirming a bullish shift.
  • $5.7: Short liquidation levels lie just above this point, which could trigger a price squeeze if crossed.

Risk management

  • Spot accumulation: Continue building within the $4 to $5 zone. The historical rallies from this region reinforce the long-term potential here, and spot accumulation offers protection from leveraged risk during price swings.
  • Leverage strategy: If trading on leverage, positions should remain light (2x or 3x). Wait for confirmation of demnd being shown at $5 before considering leverage entries. Stop losses should be set conservatively, preferably below $4, to avoid getting caught in a retracement to the $3.2 zone but we will update on this if we believe there may be a high qaulity play here.

Cryptonary's take

RUNE's recent price action has been promising, with strong support already breaking out above the key $5 level. This is a critical shift, as $5 has historically been a springboard for impressive rallies, and now the focus is on how demand responds at this price.

With the breakout confirmed, we're looking to see sustained buying pressure and demand at or above $5 to validate further bullish momentum. If demand holds, there's a strong possibility of a significant push upward, potentially up to 130% from current levels based on past market cycles.

However, it remains essential to manage risk carefully, especially when considering leverage. Stay patient and monitor how price behaves in the coming days, particularly around the $5 level, to confirm if this breakout can sustain and lead to higher levels.

This setup presents a solid opportunity for strategic accumulation, and if demand holds at $5, RUNE could deliver substantial upside in the near term.
