CELO Rebounds After 98% Crash As Opera’s 160M Allocation Advances

CELO is rebounding after a 98% crash as analysts identify a potential reversal zone. Market analyst Crypto Patel highlighted a high-risk accumulation range at current levels.

TradingView data shows CELO trading near $0.08, far below its $5.21 peak. This place the asset in a deep discount zone with elevated risk-reward potential.

An Extended Period of Accumulation 

Crypto Patel explained that CELO has completed a “multi-year corrective breakdown structure.” During the breakdown, CELO lost approximately 98.67% of its value since its all-time high. 

The analyst added that there exists a “descending trendline” in place as “dynamic resistance” over several cycles. Price has consistently failed to break through the resistance established by the trendline. 

Therefore, it is evident that there is significant bearish pressure being applied. The support zone previously located at $0.498 turned into resistance when the price broke through the line and failed to continue moving upward. 

Continued lower highs establishment is consistent with a larger-scale bearish structure. However, the current price range is considered a “high-risk accumulation zone” for longer-term investors. Buyers’ demand may begin developing in this zone, which ranges from $0.06 to $0.08.

Three Technical Indicators Needed

The analyst listed three technical indicators that need to occur before a structural trend reversal can be confirmed. First, CELO must close above the descending trendline resistance line on a higher timeframe. 

Second, the price must reclaim and maintain above the $0.148 resistance line. Third, the price must break the lower high structure located at $0.498 to confirm the bullish momentum. 

Upon completion of the three technical indicators, the upside target prices for CELO are between $1.25 and $5.21. These prices are aligned with former macro liquidity zones and past expansion phases. 

Risks Remain Bearish 

There is still a great deal of risk associated with a failure of the token to reclaim the $0.148 resistance area. Additional rejection of the descending trendline will further reinforce the downward pressure. 

The present structure suggests that the asset will experience an extended period of distribution followed by a late-stage accumulation. This accumulation phase typically leads to either a capitulation or a long-term trend reversal. Crypto Patel warned that, regardless of the potential upside opportunities, the risk is still very high. 

Long-term Fundamentals Influenced By Ecosystem Growth 

Recent developments in the Celo ecosystem may impact the long-term fundamental value of the asset. Opera proposed a 160 million CELO allocation to help strengthen the network’s integration, subject to community approval. 

The goal of the proposal is to increase the number of people using MiniPay, Opera’s stablecoin wallet built on Celo, in emerging markets. The Opera network has access to more than 50 million reward-eligible users ready to use stablecoins. 

Till date, MiniPay has processed over 420 million transactions and has been adopted by more than 14 million users. Celo currently operates on a Layer-2 network with more than 700,000 daily active users. These metrics show that the Celo ecosystem continues to be used in a real-world setting.
