Technically, CAKE has been moving in a system of higher highs and higher lows. The price action indicates a building and sustained bullish momentum. The token has corrected slightly after meeting resistance at $5. The level coincides with overbought conditions, with the RSI at 70.
Concluding thoughts
Being overbought does not mean that CAKE will undergo an outright correction. Instead, it suggests that buyers may exit positions, which could force a market correction.
With a positive price movement since June, CAKE is among the cryptos to beat the weak sentiment. With the projected correction at $5, buyers would look again to scoop the token at $4.5.
On the flip side, if CAKE manages to break above $5, it could initiate a longer-lasting recovery. An upside could see the token face minor resistance at $5.7.
