NEW DELHI (CoinChapter.com) — Tezos blockchain’s native cryptocurrency, XTZ, outperformed the rest of the crypto market as it jumped by 28.5% from Jun 4’s low of $1.84 to reach an intraday high of $2.37 on Jun 10.
However, the Tezos token later corrected as bears moved in to profit from XTZ’s recent uptrend. As a result, the smart contracts platform’s native token has been trading below a descending trendline since early Oct 2021.
If the bears continue their sell-off, XTZ prices could fall to the support from its 20-day exponential moving average (20-day EMA, red wave) near $2.05. Moreover, a breach below the 20-day EMA might lead to more sell-offs, resulting in XTZ testing support near $1.8.
Finally, a sustained downtrend could push XTZ prices to $1.5, which previously supported XTZ price action between Mar 14, 2020, and Apr 1, 2020. Meanwhile, the momentum oscillator MACD continues to forecast a strengthening upward momentum for the XTZ token.

Additionally, positive bars on the MACD histogram have been expanding, indicating that the MACD line (difference between 12-day and 26-day EMA) is moving away from the MACD signal line (9-day EMA of MACD).
Bulls might help XTZ break above its 50-day EMA (purple wave) to target immediate resistance near $2.31. Moreover, a breakout and consolidation above immediate resistance might help Tezos prices challenge resistance from their 100-day EMA (blue wave) near $2.7.
Finally, a sustained uptrend might help XTZ prices challenge the resistance confluence between 200-day EMA (green wave) and the multi-month descending trendline near $3.2.

XTZ’s latest price action comes at the heels of Tether launching its stablecoin USDT on Tezos. USDT is currently the industry’s leading stablecoin by market cap. Including Tezos, USDT is now available on 12 blockchain networks, including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Algorand (ALG).
