COMP Technicals: Downtrend Persists — Critical Support $14.69, Watch $16.20–$17.30
COMP (COMP/USDT) remains in a clear downtrend after consecutive weekly losses, with price trading below EMA20/EMA50/EMA200 and momentum indicators deeply negative. Recent readings show RSI in the ~18–24 range (oversold), a negative MACD histogram, declining futures open interest, and low trading volume concentrated in the $16–$18 distribution node. Short-term structure from an earlier update put price near $19.47 with tactical bounce opportunities, but the later weekly view extends the bearish case with last week’s range at $14.69–$18.81 and stronger confluence around $14.69 and $16.20. Key levels to monitor: support at $14.69 (multi-timeframe confluence) and $16.20; resistances at $17.30 (daily pivot), $19.42 (weekly channel/top) and a trend filter near $20.77. COMP shows high correlation with Bitcoin (~0.85–0.87), so BTC swings (support ~$62.9k/$60k, resistance ~$71k) will likely amplify COMP moves. Trading guidance: adopt a risk-off stance—look for confirmation from volume and BTC direction before committing. Bullish scenario requires a break above $17.30 and a weekly close above $19.42 to target ~$27.09 (stop under $16.20). Bearish continuation targets $14.69 initially and could extend toward $5.21 if $16.20 fails (stop above $17.30). For tactical traders: consider long scalps if $19.29–$19.42 area holds with tight stops, or short rejections near $21–22 in the short term, but overall bias remains bearish. Emphasize tight risk management and small position sizes given low volume and high BTC correlation.

Bearish
Both summaries consistently show bearish technical conditions for COMP: price below major EMAs, low RSI (oversold), negative MACD, declining open interest, and low volume concentrated in a distribution node. The later weekly analysis reinforces the downtrend by identifying strong multi-timeframe support at $14.69 and a key inflection at $16.20; failure of those levels opens substantially lower targets. High correlation with Bitcoin means adverse BTC moves would likely deepen COMP losses. Short-term tactical bounces are possible into nearby resistances, but absent volume pick-up or a decisive break above $17.30 and weekly close above $19.42, the probability favors further downside. Therefore the expected price impact on COMP is bearish for both short and medium term, with only a confirmed breakout and weekly close above the specified resistance levels likely to flip the bias.
