An analysis of the daily chart shows the Celsius coin witnessed a notable sideways trend from March 2023 to April 2024. The lack of initiation from investors limited CEL’s recovery below $0.42 possibly due to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed with the Southern District of New York bankruptcy court.

However, on January 31, 2024, Celsius Network LLC announced that it had emerged from bankruptcy by completing the transactions under its confirmed plan of reorganization. 

With the investors’ sentiment restoring, the CEL token utilized the broader market recovery in May to rebound from $0.114 support. The positive turnaround uplifted the Celsius coin by 1,360% to hit a high of $1.66, while the market cap boasts $60.37 million in value as per CoinMarketCap data.

Amid this rally, the crypto buyers gave a massive breakout from $0.42 resistance, signaling the buyers’ escape from the 20-month accumulation. The rally also saw a significant uptick in futures open interest, as highlighted by data from Coinglass. From a low in May of $850.96K, open interest surged to an impressive $11.23 million.

The 24-hour trading volume jumped 266% to $78.65 Million indicating the traders support the price hike. If the breakout sustains, the coin buyers could drive a rally to $2.8, followed by $4.6.
