What next for the coin?
In 1-hour timeframe, KLAY brokeout from the range between 0.1777 to 0.2052 with the support of volume. Before being in this range, the coin went on as high as 0.2865 but sharply came down, forming a huge wick. The buyers may have absorbed the selling pressure, and the coin can continue to make higher highs after breaking out from this base.

Zooming out on a daily timeframe, the coin is battling the area of significant resistance. The resistance is from a 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and 20-week SMA.
If KLAY makes a daily closing above these SMAs, accompanied by the breakout of the range in the 1-hour timeframe, it will be bullish for the coin.
