Following a massive increase that saw Klaytn reach its all time high of $4.38 during the first week of April 2021, the cryptocurrency has been on a free fall. However, it has been in a consolidation phase for the past month and is currently attempting to ward off the bears as the bearish sentiment is very much at play in the market. The coin trades below the 20 and 50 SMA on the 4 hour chart, demonstrating the weak momentum that is prevailing in the market. If Klaytn doesn’t mend its ways, it will tumble down further and find support at $1.161 which could act as a deterrent from further price slips. The resistance, on the other hand,lies at $1.20.
