The final stage before the big Maiar Exchange launch?
As Ben puts it: “It is now time to battle-test the Maiar Exchange“
This means we are very, very close to the launch of the Maiar Exchange, which should be an exciting event for Elrond investors. If they can repeat anything like the Maiar launch, we could see huge demand for the deflationary $EGLD token.
Consider the $EGLD/BTC pair – we’ve been trading inside this range since the launch of the Maiar wallet.
It looks a lot like a Wyckoff Re-Accumulation pattern with a Spring (more on this below). The volume is low and we are waiting for a big move – likely to the upside. A successful launch of the Maiar Exchane could be the catalyst for a breakout and price discovery.
Apologies for the bad pic, but to be fair it is ancient stuff…
This diagram depitcs the Wyckoff Accumulation trading range with the optional Spring, that happens after a parabolic rally up.
After taking profits, whales re-accumulate ahead of the Spring event, which marks the beginning of the next rally.
Overall, what an exciting time to be invested in Elrond. The team once again is delivering and from what we’ve seen, the Maiar Exchange could be a success.
