Maker’s upward price trajectory occasioned by its surging on-chain volume metrics was in stark contrast to the general market conditions brought by Bitcoin [BTC] dropping below $26k again. This put MKR in good stead to achieve more gains in the mid to long term.
Critical Fib level provided the support for bullish reversal

A look at the 12-hour timeframe for MKR showed that the blockchain protocol dipped by over 22% between 14 August and 25 August. However, bulls found support at the 100% Fib level ($986) before rallying strongly from the 78.6% Fib level ($1,039) on 31 August.
While the price surge cooled off between the 38.2% Fib level ($1,139) and the 23.6% Fib level ($1,175), the on-chart indicators highlighted the bullish outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) posted a strong bullish crossover to highlight the bullish strength.
Similarly, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stayed above the neutral 50 and showed good buying pressure with a reading of 61. The On Balance Volume (OBV) also continued to trend higher, showing good demand for MKR.
Based on the Fib levels, buyers can reach profit zones at $1,233 (0% Fib level) and $1,292 (-23.6% Fib level). Alternatively, a price rejection at any of the Fib levels above the current price could bring bears back into the picture.
