GRT Technical Analysis Jan 22

4 min read

GRT’s volume story shows weak conviction with low market participation; despite a +1.93% increase within the downtrend, volume is below average, signaling that the rally may not be sustainable.

Volume Profile and Market Participation

GRT’s 24-hour trading volume came in at 10.80 million dollars, which is about 20% below the 7-day average volume. This low volume indicates limited market participation; even though the price rose +1.93% around $0.04, examining the volume profile shows the value area (high-volume price zone) squeezed in the $0.0368-$0.0417 range. According to volume profile analysis, the Point of Control (POC) is at $0.0377, and this level acts as a strong magnet.

Volume increased during recent declines (e.g., the drop from $0.05 resistance), but today’s upward move is low-volume. This highlights the lack of broad-based participation (high volume nodes – HVN) needed for a healthy rally. Market participants are cautious; retail traders are limited, and institutional flows are quiet. Volume delta analysis confirms that sellers (red volume) dominate buyers (green volume), pointing to the continuation of the downtrend.

Educational note: Volume profile shows where the ‘fair value’ lies. For GRT, low nodes (below $0.0326) are risky, while high nodes (above $0.0417) are potential targets.

Accumulation or Distribution?

Accumulation Signals

Accumulation signals are weak but present: volume increase at $0.0368 support (65/100 score level), resembling a spring test for potential bottom formation. RSI at 41.89 is approaching oversold, and hidden positive divergence in volume (volume decreasing as price falls) carries traces of accumulation. If there’s a volume explosion on a test of $0.0326, institutions might be hunting for bottoms.

However, staying below EMA20 ($0.04) and bearish Supertrend indicate accumulation is in an early stage. Watch for: Uptick in volume + price stabilization.

Distribution Risks

Distribution warnings dominate: High volume on rejection from $0.05 resistance (distribution climax), low volume on the recent +1.93% rally (fakeout). Negative MACD histogram and 7R/4S (resistance heavy) MTF volume levels on 1D/3D timeframes scream seller control. High risk of a volume trap at $0.0417; breakouts could collapse on low volume.

Education: In distribution, volume is low on upside fakes and high on real downside breaks. GRT fits this profile perfectly.

Price-Volume Confluence

Even though price is up +1.93%, there’s no volume confirmation; within the downtrend, this resembles a ‘weak hands shakeout’. High volume on declines (bearish conviction), low on rises (lack of conviction). Divergence is clear: Price bearish below EMAs, volume favors sellers.

On MTF, 10 strong levels (3R on 1W) are pulling price to $0.0377. Healthy volume: Needs HVN expansion for upside, currently unhealthy (narrow profile). I recommend cross-referencing volume-price confluence with futures open interest for GRT Spot Analysis and GRT Futures Analysis.

Big Player Activity

Institutional patterns are ambiguous: No clear buying in whale flows, but volume cluster at $0.0368 (institutional footprint?) hints at accumulation. Volume spikes at $0.05 show selling climax, indicating big players closing positions. If supported by on-chain data (whale wallet movements), a $0.0326 test could mark the end of distribution.

Warning: We don’t know exact institutional positions; we’re only interpreting volume footprints. Watch for large block trades.

Bitcoin Correlation

BTC at $89,722 +1.55% in downtrend, Supertrend bearish. GRT correlates 0.85% with BTC; if BTC breaks $89,153 support, GRT gets dragged to $0.0368. Key BTC levels: Support $86,892 (triggers GRT $0.0326), resistance $90,940 (condition for GRT rally). Rising BTC dominance cautions altcoins; GRT volume could spike on BTC dump (distribution).

Volume-Based Outlook

Short-term bearish: Volume low and scattered; needs 50%+ volume increase for $0.0377 breakout. Bull target $0.0600 low score (31), possible with $0.0368 hold in accumulation. Bear target $0.0206 (22 score), realistic with volume confirmation. Outlook: Low participation extends downtrend, follow volume spikes. Recommendation: $0.0368 stop-loss on Spot/Futures, wait for volume increase.
