Tezos price action and its strength sentiment are not accurate syncs creating trap situations for buyers hoping to make a quick buck. RSI has been moving close to the neutral territory with spiked-up transactional volumes. The MACD indicator hasn’t yet generated the bearish crossover indicating some more upside potential in the current momentum.
Breaching $1.18 on the downside would be an explosive repetition of XTZ’s previous price trend while breaching the $2.7 level on the upside could aid XTZ in testing the 50 DMA curve. Consolidation and buying sentiment would be required above the 50 DMA curve to continue with bullish momentum. Failure of the same could result in a free fall of its token value.

Before this breach, the XTZ token was concisely on an uptrend for the last 4 days with little to no volatility. On longer-term price analysis, only the price action above $2.2 would provide a clear bullish outlook.
