AKT’s price surge comes as the leading crypto exchange in South Korea, Upbit, announced to list the asset with KRW, BTC and USDT trading pairs.
Per the announcement, Upbit will start supporting AKT trading at 10:00 UTC on April 23.
According to data provided by Santiment, Akash Network’s social volume increased by 200% over the past 24 hours. Most of the social activity around AKT comes from Reddit and Bitcointalk, per the market intelligence platform.
Notably, the AKT Relative Strength Index (RSI) witnessed a hike from 47 to 49, according to data from Santiment. The indicator shows that AKT is still in good condition — neither under nor overvalued — despite the price rally.
An RSI of over 70 would show that AKT is over-bought and could potentially lead to high price volatility. If the RSI stays below the 50 mark, the asset could witness a steady bullish momentum.
