YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) – Band Protocol started Q1 2022 with a 30% uptrend, consistent with the Inverse Head and Shoulder formation printed on the daily chart. The latter features three consecutive dips, with the middle one (the Head) lower than the remaining two (the Shoulders). A mutual Neckline connects the starting points of all three dips and prevents a breakout until the formation is complete.
The IH&S is a bullish pattern, and it predicts a surge equal to the distance between the Head and the Neckline. BAND token came close to hitting the setup’s price target at $7.50 but fell 10% short. As of Jan 5, the BAND/USD exchange rate stood at $6.52.

The weekly chart confirmed the short-term bullish prognosis but dampened the chances for a large-scale rally. In hindsight, the digital asset exploded 5,540% Q2-Q3 2020 and entered a consolidation phase that has lasted over a year. As a result, BAND formed a Descending Triangle pattern that could see the token decline in Q1 2022.
The Triangle features a near-horizontal support line and a descending resistance line that capped BAND’s breakout attempts since April 2021. The formation suggests a short-term uptrend, a resistance retest, and a subsequent decline below the support line.
