Introduction

NEO is a Blockchain platform and cryptocurrency developed with the mindset of establishing a large network of decentralized applications. While NEO is very close to Ethereum at its core, there are still distinctive features that could be said only about NEO.  For instance, NEO has got what it takes to support a lot of common programming languages like Javascript and C++. This is done by using a customized version of Docker called neoVM, which compiles the code into an environment. This is unlike Ethereum with its need for using a native programming language to perform smart contracts.

What Makes Neo (NEO) Special

NEO has the capacity to assemble and fuse a lot of other cryptocurrencies into its network, while most of the other platforms are focuses only on their own currency. This unique ability provides NEO the suitability to become a global giant in the digital system of a smart economy. Today, some may define NEO as one of the most stable cryptocurrencies on the market with a lot of potentials to grow even more in the future.

Price Performance In The Last Quarter(March – June)

The trading price of Neo opened at 5.51USD on March 18, 2020, and closed at 10.6USD on June 17, 2020. The difference in trading price within this duration is 5.09USD which represents a staggering percentage increase of 92.37 percent.

Price Performance Preview This Week

NEO is at a critical level. The 50-day SMA ($10.34) is sloping up, which suggests that the intermediate trend is up. However, on June 10, the altcoin broke below the support line of the ascending channel, which suggests that the upside momentum is weakening. Even though the bulls purchased the dips on June 10, the subsequent rebound has been weak. This suggests that buying dries up at higher levels. Another negative sign is that the bulls are struggling to keep the price inside the channel. If the bears sink the 19th-ranked cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap below $10.42133, the selling is likely to intensify. The next support to watch out on the downside is $9.21399 and then $8.60349.

Conversely, if the bulls can push the price back above the 10-day EMA ($11.27) and the downtrend line, it will suggest aggressive buying by the bulls at lower levels. This will increase the possibility of a rally to $12.2839 and then to $12.1711.

The four-hour chart shows that bulls are struggling to keep the price inside the ascending channel. This is a negative sign as this indicates selling on rallies.

If the NEO/USD pair breaks below $10.42133, it could open up the gates for further downsides to $9.58498 and then to $9.21399. Traders may attempt to ride this move lower using short positions. The 50-SMA is sloping down and the RSI is in the negative zone, indicating that bears have the upper hand.

However, if the bulls purchase the dip once again and propel the pair above the downtrend line, it is likely to attract further buying. A buying opportunity is likely to open up for the bulls if the price sustains above the downtrend line.

Partnerships with Neo

In addition to investing in Switcheo, Neo is also committed to supporting the Switcheo Token (SWTH) by financing the redemption of SWTH tokens for GAS tokens to further boost confidence in the SWTH token by funding the SWTH/GAS market on Switcheo Exchanger Moreover, the price of SWTH will be supported with a price floor at a rate to be determined at a later date. At the same time, Switcheo will deepen its support for the Neo ecosystem by allowing trading fees on Switcheo Exchange to be paid using GAS tokens instead of SWTH tokens.
