The report highlighted that the Tezos blockchain experienced a 12% increase from Q3 2021 in smart contract calls and a 94% increase in transactions year over year. In detail, Q2 2022 saw an average of 4.4 million smart contract calls and 3.7 million monthly transactions on Tezos.

Youves, a synthetic asset protocol, enjoyed the lion’s share ($14 million) of the Tezos TVL, with decentralized exchange Liquidity-Baking in the second place with a TVL of $13 million. Tezos’ TVL at Q2 2022 close was $41 million, making it 50th in TVL per DeFiLlama data.

XTZ Paints A Weak Breakout From Ascending Triangle Pattern

Meanwhile, XTZ prices have broken above a bullish continuation pattern called the ascending triangle. A horizontal trendline that connects swing highs and an ascending trendline connecting swing lows forms an ascending triangle pattern. Volume helps determine if a breakout is strong.

In an ideal world, buyers would enter the market as the trendlines close the gap, pushing prices above horizontal resistance with heavy volumes. Unfortunately, a low-volume breakout on the upside will likely fail, resulting in a pullback.

Per the rules of technical analysis, the price target for a breakout is equal to the triangle’s height at its thickest point. Therefore, XTZ prices might rise more than 30% from their current level to $2.26.

But, XTZ’s volumes do not support the breakout. The altcoin’s declining volumes indicate dwindling investor interest, which might result in XTZ prices moving back inside the pattern to chart a false breakout.

At writing, XTZ was trading at $1.71, up 1.8% on the day.
