The model showed a battle between bulls and bears at $1.63 resistance during evening hours.

Support held firm near $1.56 as momentum faded into thin holiday trading, according to the model.

Volume spiked 71% above the 24-hour average to 4.69 million tokens, coinciding with selling pressure from the session peak of $1.62, the model said.

The token completed a double-bottom formation at $1.52 support before rallying through $1.56 resistance.

Technical Analysis:
  • Primary resistance holds firm at $1.66 through multiple tests while support consolidates near $1.56
  • 11% drop in volume versus 30-day metrics signals trader fatigue, though selective spikes above 46,000 tokens reveal pockets of accumulation interest
  • Double-bottom structure at $1.52 support triggers recent rally attempt, creating potential launch pad for moves above $1.56 resistance
  • Upside breakout targets $1.58-$1.585 resistance cluster while breakdown below $1.56 support opens path to $1.52 retest levels
