Tezos Price Prediction: XTZ uptrend could be stopped by this resistance wall

• XTZ is currently trading at $2.37 after a notable 22% bounce in the past week.
• The digital asset seems to be facing a strong resistance wall towards $3.

Tezos had a market capitalization of only $900 million at the beginning of 2020. Months later, in August, the digital asset managed to reach $3.1 billion, and even after the recent pullback, it still has $1.78 billion, almost twice as big as it was at the start of 2020.

There is a significant resistance level at $2.63 for Tezos

Despite the most recent XTZ bounce, the resistance level created at $2.63 will pose a significant threat to the bulls. This resistance point was tested several times through September 6 until the big rejection on September 15, which dropped Tezos more than 24%.

Additionally, the 50-SMA is also on the way to $3 and will also act as a resistance level at $2.5 in the short-term. Rejection from this moving average has the potential to push Tezos down to $2 again as a re-test of this higher low established on October 8. 

XTZ/USD 12-hour chart

The same resistance level at $2.5 can be found on the 12-hour chart. The difference is that here it’s the 100-SMA. Either way, it adds credibility to the $2.5 level being a robust resistance point. Additionally, the RSIC is overextended, which usually means the price will experience a pullback. 

Shorter time frames are in favor of the bulls

Nonetheless, despite the big resistance wall ahead, the current uptrend for Tezos is quite strong. On the 4-hour chart, the uptrend was confirmed on October 9, and the price has been creating higher lows and higher highs ever since.

The price also managed to climb above the 50-SMA and the 100-SMA, turning both into support levels. Most recently, it cracked the 200-SMA, again turning into a support level. There are no resistance levels on this particular chart until $2.63, and the MACD has stayed bullish for the past five days. 

A bullish breakout above $2.5 can easily push XTZ up to $2.63, where the next resistance point is located. Continuation above that point has the potential to push Tezos up to $3 as there are almost no other resistance levels on the way up.  

Key points for Tezos

Tezos bulls are facing a substantial resistance area between $2.5 and $2.63. Rejection from any of these two levels will most likely drop the price of XTZ down to $2 as a re-test in the short-term. Before $2, there is also some support around $2.2 where the 50-SMA and the 100-SMA on the 4-hour chart are currently established.

On the other hand, the bulls are currently in control of Tezos and are eying up $3. A bullish breakout above $2.63 can quickly drive the price of XTZ towards the psychological resistance level at $3. The shorter time-frames are in big favor of bulls.
