DASH price retreats to $78 after sellers reject bulls' advances near $100

Over the previous day, the token experienced a 5.2% decline following a robust 15% advance that had successfully penetrated the psychologically significant $100 level. Bitcoin's concurrent strength—reaching $16,300 with traders eyeing $17,000—has partially overshadowed Dash's movement. Despite this correction, bulls maintain meaningful backing below current trading ranges, though mounting selling pressure on shorter timeframes signals potential weakness ahead. Analysts suggest a possible descent toward $68 could materialize before stabilization occurs.

The daily technical picture reveals significant rejection patterns. Price action printed an extended upper wick, indicating failed buyers at elevated levels. The token initially collapsed to $72 following the $105 peak before recovering toward $77, representing an earlier monthly high from October. Moving average indicators—the 50, 100, and 200-period versions—now function as support, with the RSI declining and suggesting bear dominance may be strengthening.

On-chain analysis via IntoTheBlock indicates concentrated holder positions between $72.63 and $75.42, establishing a notable demand cluster. The 100-period SMA sits at $75.93 while the 200-period rests at $75.48, providing intermediate support. The 50-period SMA anchors further support at $69.13.

Shorter timeframe analysis demonstrates deteriorating momentum. The 4-hour chart displays successive lower highs paired with lower lows, signaling fading bullish pressure. Sustained selling could drive the asset toward $68, where multiple moving averages currently converge. Overhead, significant selling activity has repeatedly defended the $79.4 zone. A sustained breakout above this barrier would permit price exploration toward $90 territory.
