Tezos [XTZ] Bulls Charge Past $0.7—Is a Pullback Inevitable?

Tezos bulls just flexed their muscles, pushing XTZ past the $0.7 threshold. But here’s the million-dollar question: Is this rally built to last, or are traders staring at a classic ‘buy the rumor, sell the news’ setup?

Market psychology at play

The breakout past $0.7 smells like FOMO fuel—retail traders piling in after institutional players already took their positions. Sound familiar? It should. Crypto markets have a PhD in rinse-and-repeat cycles.

Technical crossroads

XTZ’s chart shows bullish momentum, but RSI flirts with overbought territory. Every trader’s favorite dilemma: ride the wave or prepare for the undertow? Pro tip: Watch volume. If it dries up faster than a DeFi project’s liquidity pool, brace for impact.

The cynical take

Let’s be real—half the ‘bulls’ celebrating this move will panic-sell at the first 5% dip. Because nothing screams ‘strong hands’ like chasing pumps and dumping at the first sign of resistance. Ah, crypto—where ‘long-term hold’ means until lunchtime.

Key Takeaways

Tezos has a strongly bullish outlook in the short-term and long-term after reclaiming a key resistance zone at $0.7. Traders should now be wary of DEEP pullbacks and liquidity hunts.

Tezos [XTZ] has gained 8.2% in the past 24 hours on the price charts. Coinalyze data showed that its Open Interest was up 51.2% in the same period.

Thus, the rally had intense speculative bidding recently, but it was also a warning sign of a MOVE driven solely by the derivatives market.

The Futures data showed an explosion in Open Interest over the past two days as the $0.68-$0.7 resistance started being tested.

Tezos bulls appeared confident of a breakout, given the bullish strength of Bitcoin [BTC] and the altcoin markets in July.

The spot CVD has not trended higher, which reinforced the short-term concerns that the rally driven by speculative traders. This might see heightened volatility and deeper pullbacks, which could affect traders.

How should investors and traders navigate the market in the coming days?

The 1-day chart showed a bullish structure break on the 9th of July. Marked in cyan, this bullish structure break came after XTZ set higher lows since mid-July.

Bulls have been preparing for this rally, and have been unstoppable over the past ten days. Since the bullish market structure break, XTZ has gained 40% in value.

It also managed to climb past the $0.7 resistance zone. Highlighted by the cyan box, this supply zone stretched back to March. Tezos bulls failed to break past this area upon the May retest.

Now that XTZ had breached this supply zone, a retest of the same WOULD offer a good buying opportunity.

The RSI on the 1-day chart was at 84, in overbought territory. This was an early sign that traders should think about a pullback scenario. The OBV showed buying pressure on Tezos in recent days.

Hence, a retracement toward $0.7-$0.75 could offer a good buying opportunity.
