Signaling increased liquidity in the CRO market, key indicators have been northbound on a daily chart in the last week. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was on an upward progression in the past few days and crossed the 50-neutral region.
At press time, the RSI stood at 54. Far from the center 0 line (red), the dynamic line (green) of CRO’s Chaikin Money Index (CMF) rallied in the last week and was positioned at 0.16 at press time. This indicated that the buying pressure for CRO increased significantly during the period under review.
