Ronin [$RON], the gaming token with a market cap of roughly $85.9 million, had a big day on May 18. It surged 76.26%, climbing from $0.0851 to $0.150. Since then, it has pulled back about 26% from that local high. At press time, it was trading at $0.1108.
The move caught traders’ attention for a few reasons. First, daily trading volume jumped by 1,592%, according to CoinMarketCap data. Open interest also shot up by 437.77% in just 24 hours. Those numbers suggest a lot of speculative money flowed into the token. But the question now is whether the momentum can hold.
Breaking out of a three-month range
Ronin had been stuck in a range since February. That range stretched from about $0.085 to $0.108. There were some wicks outside those levels, but the pattern held for months. A breakout attempt about a week ago actually failed. The price retraced all the way back to the range lows.
This recent rally looks more promising at first glance. The token is now retesting the range highs as support. The moving averages and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) both point to bullish momentum. But there’s a catch. The RSI shows a bearish divergence on the daily chart. That means momentum might be weakening even as price climbs. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) has made new highs, which is positive. Still, there’s a real chance this breakout could fail like the last one. The reaction at the $0.108 zone is pretty critical here.
What traders are watching
For anyone looking at this from a trading perspective, the key levels are fairly clear. The retracement levels at $0.1099 and $0.099 form what some call the golden pocket for a bullish reversal. These also line up with the range highs and mid-range. If the price drops below $0.099, that would likely invalidate the breakout. It could mean another retracement all the way down to $0.085.
On the flip side, if demand shows up around the current area, Ronin might rally toward $0.165 and then $0.19. Those are the 23.6% and 61.8% Fibonacci extension levels plotted from the recent rally. So the next few days could be a make-or-break moment for the bulls. The market is watching closely, but nothing is guaranteed.
