IOTA is bearish in the short-term and risks imminent losses
IOTA/USD has been a one-way trade lower since May 2018
Medium-term picture is bleak despite December rally
IOTA / USD Short-term price analysis
In the short-term, IOTA is bearish with price trading close to the neckline of a bearish head and shoulders pattern. A failed inverted head and shoulders pattern is also putting downside pressure on the pair.
A bearish crossover is currently underway with the 50-period moving average crossing over the 200-day moving average.
One more rally towards the IOTA / USD pairs 50-period moving average on the four-hour time frame may occur before another higher volume decline.
Pattern Watch
Given the scale of the large decline seen in the IOTA / USD pair since May 2018, traders would need clear confirmation that the price floor has been established if the bullish counter move were to occur.
Short-term sellers are likely to stick with the prevailing theme until IOTA starts creating higher highs and lower lows.

Key Moving Averages
Price trades below its 50 and 200-period moving average on the four-hour time frame; further weakness should be expected towards the current 2019 trading low.
IOTA / USD Medium-term price analysis
IOTA is overwhelmingly bearish in the medium-term, traders looking for a longer-term counter-move higher in the IOTA / USD pair may be better suited looking at other cryptocurrency pairs.
If sellers did in fact create a major technical low during mid-December 2018, buyers may want to test as close as possible to the all-time low for further confirmation that a long-term price floor has been established.
A bearish head and shoulders pattern is also visible, which is consistent with the lower time frames, a pending bearish drop.
