Executive Summary
Tranchess (CHESS) is showing signs of a short-term recovery, trading within an upward channel and above its shorter-term moving averages. Despite a generally bearish long-term outlook, the recent price action and volume indicate a potential for short-term gains. Key resistance levels need to be watched closely.
Chart Analysis
Overall Trend: The overall trend for CHESS appears to be bearish in the longer term, as indicated by the price trading significantly below its all-time high and the long-term EMAs (100 and 200). However, on the shorter timeframe (30-minute chart), there is evidence of a potential upward trend forming.
Price Action: In the past few days, the price has been consolidating and showing an upward bias, trading in a more confined range after a significant drop. There have been several green candles indicating buying pressure, and the price is currently trading above the 20, 50, and 100 EMAs. It is also approaching the 200 EMA.
Moving Averages: The 20 EMA is currently above the 50 EMA, which is above the 100 EMA. This configuration for the shorter-term EMAs (20, 50, 100) suggests a bullish short-term momentum. The price is currently finding support around the 50 and 100 EMAs, and is pushing towards the 200 EMA, which may act as resistance.
RSI: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently around 56.21, which is in the neutral territory. It has recently moved up from oversold levels and is showing a strengthening momentum, but has not yet entered overbought conditions. The yellow line (signal line) is above the purple line, indicating bullish momentum but not aggressively so.
Volume Analysis: Volume has been mixed. There were significant spikes in volume during periods of sharp decline in the past. More recently, the volume appears to be increasing on upswings and decreasing on downswings, which is a positive sign for the current upward move. The 76.5K volume shown on the chart is relatively moderate.

Outlook
Short-term: The short-term outlook for CHESS is cautiously optimistic. The price action suggests a potential continuation of the current uptrend, especially if it can break and hold above the 200 EMA. The neutral RSI and supportive moving average configuration indicate room for upward movement.
Long-term: The long-term outlook remains bearish. CHESS is still significantly below its ATH and has experienced substantial price decreases over the past 90 days. Without a major shift in market sentiment or significant project developments, it is likely to face strong resistance from longer-term moving averages and previous price levels.
Strategy
Short-term Strategy: Traders could consider a short-term long position if the price breaks decisively above the 200 EMA with increasing volume. The target would be the next resistance level, with a stop-loss placed below the current support formed by the 50 or 100 EMA. Alternatively, a cautious approach would be to wait for a confirmed breakout and pull-back to retest the 200 EMA as support.
Long-term Strategy: For long-term investors, current levels may offer an opportunity to accumulate at a discount, given the significant difference between the current price and the ATL. However, given the bearish long-term trend and the large gap to ATH, a DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) strategy is recommended, with a focus on buying during significant dips and holding for potential future recovery. Significant fundamental catalysts would be required to drastically alter the long-term bearish outlook.
Key Levels to Watch:
- Support: 0.03260 (200 EMA), 0.03239 (current immediate support), levels around 0.03150.
- Resistance: 0.03290 (current price), 0.03300 (psychological level), 0.03314 (recent high), and crucially the 200 EMA which is acting as a dynamic resistance.
