EGLD Rallies Following Utrust Partnership

EGLD, the native token of the Elrond blockchain, has been performing excellently since the news of the partnership came out. Over the past 24 hours, EGLD has added more than 6% to its value and is now trading above $205 per coin.

This news served as a positive catalyst for EGLD, which has lost more than 13% of its value since the start of the year. EGLD was previously struggling to top the $200 psychological level prior to this announcement.

EGLD’s technical indicators are still bearish, but they are improving. EGLD is currently trading at $205, below its 50-day moving average price of $274. It would need a massive rally to break past the 50d-day EMA in the short term.

The MACD line remains in the negative zone despite the coin’s current rally. The 14-day RSI of 39 shows that EGLD is slowly moving out of the oversold region.

While EGLD is rallying, UTK, the native token of the Utrust platform, is underperforming. UTK is down by 10% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.38 per token.
