Should the investors be happy?

Following these developments, CAKE’s price increased by more than 5% in the last 24 hours, resulting in gains on its chart. As per CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, CAKE was trading at $3.82 with a market capitalization of over $646 million.

CAKE’s MVRV Ratio went up in the last few days, which might have played a key role in this recent price increment. Nonetheless, CAKE’s velocity decreased sharply on 20 January. In fact, its popularity also went down over the last week as its social volume decreased.

But there is hope

Most of the metrics were unsupportive of a price surge and CAKE’s daily chart provided much-needed hope. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was resting above the neutral mark, which was bullish.

CAKE’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was also relatively up, further increasing the chances of a price surge. Furthermore, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed that the 20-day EMA was fast approaching the 55-day EMA, suggesting the possibility of a bullish crossover in the coming days.
