Amp (CRYPTO: AMP) crypto price rose 11% in the past seven days and was trading at $0.0043, at the time of writing according to CoinMarketCap. The altcoin encountered intense volatility over the past 24 hours, with its price oscillating between $0.0042 and $0.0047.

AMP price was down by 4% at the time of writing, with the downtrend likely coming from sellers taking profits after the recent rally.

As the price hit a monthly high above $0.0047, it was accompanied by a surge in trading volumes, according to data from Santiment. These high volumes came from sellers who caused the price to drop shortly after.

AMP crypto hints at reversal ahead

The AMP crypto price formed an ascending channel with higher highs and higher lows since 5th August. This pattern is usually bullish as it shows a steady and gradual uptrend.

However, for the uptrend to be sustained, AMP needs to breach the upper trendline of the ascending channel.

A look at the four-hour chart shows that AMP crypto price is below the middle of the channel and is approaching the lower trendline. If it breaks below, the downtrend will persist, paving the way for further dips.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 60 suggests buying activity. However the RSI has reversed from the near overbought region, and it is currently trending lower. This hints at potential signs of reversal within the ascending channel.

Another possible bearish crossover is seen in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line. This trend line is converging with the signal line, showing a possible change in the bullish momentum.

If bears grow stronger, AMP will drop to test a key support level at the 0.618 Fibonacci ($0.0040). On the other hand, a resumption of buying activity from traders looking to secure profits could see the 100% Fib level at $0.0049 retested.

Testing and breaking out of this resistance, which is also the upper trendline of the ascending channel, will confirm the bullish thesis.

Finally, data from IntoTheBlock shows that 82% of AMP holders are sitting in losses. Moreover, 1.6 billion AMP tokens are held at a break-even price between $0.0041-$0.0045. Hence, an AMP crypto rally might be met with selling activity as traders seek to mitigate losses.
