Buy Synthetix token on a retracement as key breakout occurs

• Synthetix is a derivatives liquidity protocol

• Synthetix token has pushed above a key resistance

• Investors should snap the cryptocurrency on a retracement to $3.5

Synthetix token SNX/USD is trading at $4.04. The price level was reached after the token gained by at least 24% in the past week. The gains in the token come on renewed optimism of DeFi recoveries. DeFi leader Ethereum is projected to be nearing a potential shift to PoS system from PoW. That is adding interest in related protocols such as Synthetix.

In a snapshot, Synthetix is a derivatives liquidity protocol. It links to derivative trading by enabling the creation of synthetic assets that can be traded on the blockchain. Around $423 million is locked in Synthetix protocol, underlining its role in the DeFi sector.

Technically, SNX has broken past a resistance level at $3.5. The token remains bullish, with the MACD line remaining above the moving average. The short-term 14-day and 21-day moving averages offer support below, affirming a bullish move.

We believe SNX will continue soaring after the breakout while crypto sentiment remains strong. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency could retrace back to the $3.5 support. That would allow investors to enter and ride high. We recommend a buy on a retracement. The token has a chance to rise to $7.3, which is the established resistance.

Summary

Synthetix token is bullish after breaking past resistance at $3.5. The price could rise to meet the next resistance at $7.3. Investors should buy the token on a retracement.
