NEXO, the native ERC-20 token of Nexo platform , recorded a 1.92% surge on Tuesday to reach $0.958 trading value.

On the contrary, if coin price faced renewed selling pressure at $1.034, the seller could maintain their dominance on this asset. A potential reversal could trigger the next bear cycle within this pattern.
