Curve DAO (CRV), a DEX token powering the DeFi ecosystem of Curve Finance, is gearing up for an uplift, according to a revelation disclosed today by market analyst Crypto Tony. As per the analyst, the CRV market is heating up and ready to take off.
Based on the analyst’s market observation, the CRV/USD pair is currently in a crucial phase, testing a well-established support zone as indicated in the data, suggesting that the DeFi token could be on the verge of a significant explosion. The analyst believes that this behavior could determine the next huge price movement for CRV.
CRV Expects a Pump Due To This Cup and Saucer Pattern
Currently, CRV trades at $0.3631, a decline of 35% noted over the past 24 hours. The token has also been down 16.2% and 6.3% over the past week and month, respectively, showing heightened selling pressure in its market.
Despite this market weakness, CRV has been holding strongly around the $0.34 and $0.36 region (as indicated in the data), consolidating in a narrow structure over the past multiple weeks since last month, December 18, 2025. This pattern (as illustrated in the analyst’s data) indicates that the crypto asset is approaching a crucial decision phase that could put an end to the multiple weeks of its market underperformance.
As pointed out in the analyst’s chart, the Curve DAO token has managed to break out of a cup and saucer pattern, which is historically regarded as a bullish pattern and could trigger a price spike ahead. Technical projection shows that the asset is expected to experience a potential 57% jump from the current price.
DeFi TVL Falls 49.43% From October Peak
The price decline of the Curve DAO token is a reflection of the significant drop in the DeFi market currently. According to the latest metrics from DeFiLlama, the TVL of the DeFi market currently stands at $119.86 billion, down by 49.43% from the ATH of $237 billion reached on October 9, 2025. The cause of this decline is a challenging macroeconomic environment, triggered by ongoing inflation uncertainties and geopolitical tensions.
