TIA’s 26% Weekly Surge: Is $2.26 the Next Stop for Celestia?

Celestia’s TIA isn’t just rallying—it’s mooning. A 26% weekly gain has traders eyeing $2.26 as the next target. But can the momentum hold?

Here’s the breakdown:

The Bull Case

Fresh capital’s flooding into modular blockchain plays, and TIA’s leading the charge. No fancy jargon—just a chart screaming ‘buy’ at anyone with a pulse.

The Skeptic’s Corner

Another altcoin pumping while Bitcoin naps? How original. Remember: what goes up 26% in a week can crater twice as fast when the ‘institutional-grade’ traders take profits.

One thing’s certain—this isn’t your grandma’s savings account. Whether TIA hits $2.26 or faceplants, volatility’s back on the menu.

TIA’s rising Open Interest 

Since the 24th of June, TIA’s Futures market showed a noticeable shift in sentiment, marked by a steady rise in Open Interest and a moderate recovery in price, according to on-chain analytics firm CoinGlass.

During this period, Open Interest increased consistently, rising from $138 million to $198 million, the highest level since early June 2025. Also, TIA climbed from a low near $1.40 to around $1.67.

This combination of rising OI and price recovery points toward a bullish divergence, suggesting that traders may be positioning for a potential trend reversal.

Traders’ strong interest in long positions

Another reason behind TIA’s continued upward momentum is traders’ strong interest and confidence in long positions.

Over the past week, traders have shown significantly more interest in long positions than short ones, which has not only supported TIA’s price increase but also helped it break through a major resistance level.

According to the exchange’s Liquidation Map, the key over-leveraged levels are $1.386 on the lower side (support) and $1.734 on the upper side (resistance).

At these levels, traders have built $20.03 million worth of long positions and $6.89 million worth of short positions.

This indicates that traders strongly believe the TIA price is unlikely to fall below the $1.386 level anytime soon.

67% traders go long

At press time, the Binance TIAUSDT Long/Short ratio stood at 2.03, indicating strong bullish sentiment among traders.

67.03% of top traders on Binance were betting on long positions at the time of writing, while 32.97% were positioned on the short side.

Breakout of key resistance 

Another strong reason behind TIA’s consistent upward momentum is the breakout of a prolonged descending trendline that had been acting as strong resistance since May 2025.

With a strong rally, the asset has broken through this key hurdle and has continued to maintain its upward momentum since then.

Lastly, the strong influence of major assets like Bitcoin [BTC], ethereum [ETH], and Solana [SOL] has played a key role.

These assets have recently recorded impressive rallies and appear to be positively influencing the overall market, especially crypto memecoins.

Will the TIA price continue its upside momentum?

Given the current market sentiment and overall structure, TIA appears bullish and could continue its upward momentum, but under certain conditions.

After a recent 26% rally, the asset has reached a key horizontal resistance level at $1.70, which is currently acting as a hurdle for further price movement.

TIA is likely to continue its upward momentum only if it breaks out of this resistance zone and closes a daily candle above the $1.70 level.

If this occurs, there is a strong possibility that TIA could maintain its rally, with the price potentially surging over 39% to reach the $2.26 level in the near future.
