If a breakout occurs above the descending trendline before the end of May, analysts expect renewed bullish momentum potentially driving the asset toward the $3.50 level as confidence returns and volume increases, signaling a possible new bull cycle.

Technical Outlook Shows a Consolidation Phase 

According to TradingView, the token displays a definitive long-term correction following the mid-2025 peak near $3.50. Currently priced at $1.33, the asset is trapped in a tight horizontal range, signaling a period of market exhaustion.

This consolidation suggests that the previous bearish momentum is slowing down as traders wait for a new fundamental or technical catalyst.

Technical signals resemble a halted rhythm. The lines on the MACD almost flatten out at the zero level, indicating the lack of any directional bias. In addition, the RSI indicator stays at 39.72, located in the range of neutrality near the oversold level.

Overall, these signals indicate that the market will continue its horizontal movement until the breakout of the local resistance level occurs.
