COMP trades at double its June lows with more upside potential
Compound COMP/USD has gained by more than 4% in the past 24 hours. The gains defy a largely bearish crypto sentiment. Markets are still reeling from a hawkish Fed tone amid faster rate hikes. With no specific factors influencing COMP, buyers could be finding it attractive at low prices.
COMP was trading at $60 as of press time. The price is more than double the low of $27 reached in mid-June. However, the level is significantly low compared to a high of $240 at the beginning of the year. The token’s all-time high remains around $915 as of May 2021. A combination of factors, including tighter economies and the Ukrainian war, caused the decline.
Consequently, investors are finding Compound attractive at low prices. In particular, Compound promises to revolutionize the DeFi sector with crypto loans. The nascent sector presents a massive opportunity, but it will take time before its full potential is realized.

Technically, the Compound token trades at $56, which is now a support zone. The recent price pump has helped the token to rise above the 20-day and 50-day MA. The 20-day MA is about to close above the 50-day MA, confirming bullish momentum. The MACD indicator shows an increasing bullish momentum after a break above $56.
Concluding thoughts
The Compound token has the potential to continue rising from the current level. The token will face a minor resistance at $66. If the momentum remains, the key target for COMP will be $75.
