After a strong rebound from its September lows, Liquity price has started to show some weakness. The price has fallen for the second consecutive day, down 1.52% on Friday. The negative price action could be attributed to the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions.
Bitcoin price retested its weekly lows last night before getting a bounce. At press time, the leading crypto token changed hands at $26,584 after increasing only 0.11% on Friday. After a steep decline in the first two weeks of the month, LQTY price is up 14% from the lows.

Liquity Price Technical Analysis
LQTY coin is the native asset of the Liquity protocol. Currently, the coin is down 78% from its yearly high. In the past 24 hours, $7.1 million worth of LQTY has been traded across different crypto exchanges. The digital asset has been trading within a very narrow price range since a strong sell-off in August.
On the 4H timeframe, the price has broken above the range highs of $0.838. Even though the high timeframe Liquity price prediction remains bearish, a reclaim of $0.838 may send the price toward the key psychological barrier of $1. This would be a more than 16% increase from the current price level. The invalidation of this outlook will be acceptance below the $0.838 range highs.
