1. How The Graph Performs Relative to Other Cryptos ?
As of 07 Dec 2021, The Graph has made a cumulative return of 39.24% since Jan 2020 and 39.13% since Jan 2021. It is currently the 23th greatest performing crypto asset since Jan 2021 as compared to the other cryptocurrencies presented above.
3. Technical Analysis on The Graph
2.1. Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
VWAP is a technical indicator used by a trader to gauge the overall trend of an asset price movement. VWAP line (orange line) represents the volume-weighted average price (average price here is defined as the average of high, low and close prices) while close price line (blue line) represents the price when GRT is closed at the end of every single day.
Whenever blue line (close price) is above orange line (VWAP), it indicates that the asset is gaining momentum and being traded higher than its average price level. This would represent a 'buy' opportunity for short-term momentum trader whom task is to trade following the trend while a longer term mean-revision trader might take it as a 'sell' opportunity, anticipating that the price of GRT (blue line) to fall to its average level (orange line).
Whenever blue line (close price) is below orange line (VWAP), it indicates that the asset is losing momentum and being traded lower than its average price level. This would represent a 'sell' opportunity for short-term momentum trader whom task is to trade following the trend while a longer term mean-revision trader might take it as a 'buy' opportunity, anticipating that the price of GRT (blue line) to rise to its average level (orange line).
As of 07 Dec 2021, VWAP is suggesting that GRT has been losing big momentum following the market sell-off.
2.2. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
MACD is often used by trader as a momentum indicator. There are 2 lines that form the above charts, namely MACD (12, 26) lines and Signal(9) line, while the histogram is calculated by subtracting Signal (9) from MACD (12,26). Histogram would fall to the negative territory whenever MACD (12, 26) is trending at a lower level than Signal (9) and rise to the positive territory whenever MACD (12,26) is trending at a higher level than Signal (9).
MACD (12, 26) is computed by subtracting the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) of GRT closing price from its 12-day EMA.
Signal (9) on the other hand is calculated as the 9-day EMA of MACD (12,26).
As MACD (12, 26) goes higher away from Signal (9), it signifies that GRT is gaining momentum and whenever it goes trends at a lower level than Signal (9),it signifies that GRT is losing momentum.
As of 07 Dec 2021, MACD is suggesting that GRT has been losing big momentum following the market sell-off.
2.3. Bollinger Band
Bollinger band is often being used by mean-reversion trader as a gauge to assess how undervalued or overvalued an asset is. Its chart made up of 4 lines, namely:
- SMA (20) (blue line), which is the 20-day simple moving average price of GRT
- Upper Band (orange line), which is computed by adding 2 standard deviations of GRT on SMA (20)
- Lower Band (red line) , which is computed by subtracting 2 standard deviations of GRT from SMA (20)
- Close (green line), which is the daily closing price of GRT
Whenever close line (green) touches the lower band (red), it indicates that GRT is corrected too much and is being traded at an undervalued level, representing a 'buy' opportunity. On the other hand, whenever close line (green) touches the upper band (orange), it indicates that GRT is gaining too much momentum and is being traded at an overvalued level, thus indicating a 'sell' opportunity.
As of 07 Dec 2021, Bollinger Band is suggesting that GRT has been oversold to an undervalued position.
2.4. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Just like Bollinger Band, Relative Strength Index is often being used by mean-reversion trader as a gauge to assess how undervalued or overvalued an asset is. There are 2 psychological levels, i.e. 30 and 70 in RSI. Whenever the RSI reaches 30, it indicates that GRT is corrected too much and is being traded at an undervalued level, representing a 'buy' opportunity. On the other hand, whenever RSI reaches 70, it indicates that GRT is gaining too much momentum and is being traded at an overvalued level, thus indicating a 'sell' opportunity.
As of 07 Dec 2021, RSI is suggesting that GRT is neither oversold nor overbought.
Based on the technical analysis presented above, quantdoge holds a slight bullish stance on GRT, but I could be wrong, hence please make your careful due diligence before making any financial decision.
3.The Graph Risk Profile
Based on the 100-day 95% historical Value-at-Risk (VaR) profile of The Graph defined above, GRT seems to trade at a similar risk level on 07 Dec 2021 as compared to 10 days before on 27 Nov 2021, with its biggest pullback being seen at -25.56% on a single day during the last 100 days. However, I could be wrong, hence please make your careful due diligence before making any financial decision.
