Cronos (CRO) has continued to struggle to maintain its recent uptick in price. There were hopes that finally, the coin would manage to cross past $0.5, but despite bulls pushing it to the limit, CRO failed. The coin is now staring at a possibility of a major correction. Here is what to know:

• The chart shows a serious RSI divergence that could suggest a pullback is imminent.

• CRO was also rejected at $0.5 as upward momentum fizzled out

• The coin has lost around 6% over the last 24 hours, with more to come.

Cronos (CRO) – Why a 15% is plausible

After a steady rise over the last two weeks, off-late CRO has been displaying several bearish technical signals. First, it seems the coin’s upside at the moment is capped at $0.48. In fact, CRO has tried to break above the $0.5 mark five times and has failed. 

It is clear that the coin has no upward momentum right now, and the only way is down. The RSI divergence also suggests that a pullback is going to happen at any time. We expect CRO to retreat towards $0.43 in the days ahead as it tries to generate demand. 

If bulls are not able to push the price back up again, CRO will bottom at around $0.41 or thereabout. However, if the coin can somehow manage to break the $0.5 barrier, then this analysis will become null and void. We do not see this happening though in the days ahead.

Why CRO has struggled past $0.5

So far, the $0.5 mark has proved to be the most difficult overhead resistance for CRO. It is likely that this is basically a psychological barrier. 

Since the coin has failed so many times before to smash past it, most traders would rather take a profit at around $0.5 instead of facing any serious upside risks.
