Tezos price looks for an upside reversal

On the weekly chart,  the XTZ price closed above $2.0 for the first time on April 13, 2020, and since then the price had made a high of $9.2, with an upside of more than 350% return.

However, XTZ  broke the support of two-year on n May 16, 2022,  and gave a closing below this level on the weekly chart, & then started to fall from there up to $1.22.

This week, finally the price tested the $2.0 level once again, but couldn’t sustain above that level, facing heavy resistance, which was once acting as a support. The price faces resistance at the 20-day exponential moving average. Along with a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, which will act as immediate resistance to this week

Now, if the price on the weekly chart, closes below $1.50, then there is a high probability of the price going up to its recent swing low, which is $1.22.

 On the daily chart, XTZ  produces a breakout breakdown of the bearish “Flag & pole” Pattern, indicating weakness around the overall look. This also coincides with the breach of the 50-day exponential moving average. 

Tezo’s price broke the pattern’s support level. Along with rising volumes as compared to the previous volumes. The volumes were declining, with the rising price of an XTZ, which implies concerns for the buyers.

When the market is rising while volume is declining, big money is not the one buying, more likely slowly exiting positions.

According to this pattern, The expected fall in XTZ could be around $1.50. To find targets for the Flag pattern, the Fibonacci Extension indicator is used, which gives us more than 70% accurate targets. 

The nearest support is the nearest swing low, which is $1.54, whereas the nearest resistance is at $1.70. There is a higher probability of the price to breaks its support level on a lower level. “Sell on rising” opportunity is the best course of plan we can go with. 

On the other hand, a daily close above the $1.60  level could invalidate the bearish outlook. And the price can move toward $1.70 followed by the psychological $1.80 mark.

XTZ is bearish on all time frames. Below $1.54  closing on the hourly time frame, we can put a trade on the sell side.
