Bollinger Bands show a sharp breakout above the lower band and toward the middle band (20-day SMA) at $2.24. The current price action suggests indecision, with the upper band at $2.56 acting as dynamic resistance. A break above this level could confirm bullish continuation.

The RSI has climbed TO 45, indicating recovery from the recent low of $1.94. The upward gradient suggests bullish momentum and more upside room, but with caution.

Failure to hold $2.24 may send RAY back toward the key support at $1.93. Popular crypto analyst Leandrocrypto recently stated that this level would act as a strong buying zone.

The analyst explained that a bullish scenario with strong volume could send the cryptocurrency to test $3.42 resistance, setting a price target of $7.27 in the long term.
