Curve DAO Token Price Analysis – Bulls Eye $0.352 After Breakout Above Key Resistance

Highlights:

• Curve DAO Token’s rising trading volumes point to strengthening bullish momentum.
• New LlamaLend V2 rewards add to the bullish outlook for CRV.
• CRV targets $0.352, though upcoming US PPI data could trigger a correction to $0.256.

Curve DAO Token (CRV) is up by double digits on a day that most cryptocurrencies are in the red. When writing, Curve DAO Token was trading at $0.264, up 10.83% in the day. Curve DAO Token trading volumes are also up parabolically in the day, rising 187.65% to stand at $127.9 million. The surge in trading volumes alongside the price is an indicator that bulls are firmly in control and that CRV could be headed higher. There are already multiple factors that support such price action for CRV in the short term. 

Curve DAO Token Rallies After Launching More Rewards

One of the factors that is boosting Curve DAO Token is the move to launch more CRV rewards across the Llamalend V2 gauges. The expanded rewards are motivated by growing user interest in the Curve DAO ecosystem. This is also sending a positive message to the market, as user interest is one of the best indicators of the health of a cryptocurrency. This is a big deal in an increasingly crowded market full of low-quality tokens. It could see capital continue to flow into CRV, especially from institutional players, and push the price to new all-time highs.

But the price move is only the visible part.

While CRV was sitting near the bottom, Curve was quietly rebuilding the machinery underneath it.

Technical Breakout Hints at More Upside Short Term for CRV

Curve DAO Token is also getting a boost from the fact that its technical indicators have recently turned bullish. Multiple analysts have turned bullish on CRV after it made a bullish breakout from a multi-day range. This breakout has created excitement that more gains are coming up and has triggered FOMO. The impact is that CRV could be headed much higher in the short to medium term, as buyers jump in to take advantage of the breakout.

This one's for all the llamas all over the world.

High Trading Volumes Point to Rising Retail Demand for CRV

Buyer confidence in CRV has also been boosted by the fact that it is backed by strong liquidity. In the last 48 hours, CRV trading volumes have remained firmly above $100 million. This is important because it shows that there is real market participation and that the price is unlikely to dump suddenly.

In markets with thin liquidity, a sudden pump in the price is often followed by price action that wipes out all the gains. On this basis, there is a good chance that CRV could draw in more conservative investors and send the price much higher in the short term.

Upcoming PPI Could Deflate CRV Momentum Short Term

The ongoing rally is also being fueled by shorts being forced to cover their positions. Before the recent breakout, there was a sizeable number of short positions expecting the price to drop. However, the sudden breakout has not only invalidated such a move but is also forcing short sellers to cover positions.

As this happens, it is adding upside momentum to the underlying price action. That said, CRV still faces some risks in the short term. The biggest of these risks is the upcoming PPI data in the US. If the data points to persistent inflation, all risk-on assets could dump. For CRV, which has already pumped in the day, this could mean a more pronounced dump than other top 100 cryptocurrencies.

CPI / PPI comes out Wednesday / Thursday. Market mooned off the jobs data because it decreased rate hike odds. A hot CPI / PPI (definite possibility because of Iran war) would raise rate hike odds putting us in consolidation or a short term down trend? Might take profits soon

Technical Analysis – Curve DAO Rallies Through Key Resistance as Bulls Take Control

CRV’s recent momentum has seen it rally through major resistance at $0.256. If bulls sustain this momentum, CRV could rally to $0.352 in the short term. On the other hand, if bulls lose momentum, a consolidation above $0.256, now support, could follow.

However, if the PPI data comes out pointing to inflation, a drop below $0.256 could follow. In such a scenario, a correction to $0.183 could follow. Of these scenarios, a rally to $0.352 is more likely. This is because of the momentum built up during the day.
