Market Overview

The Curve DAO Token/Tether pair (CRVUSDT) opened at 0.3677 on December 23 at 12:00 ET and closed at 0.3718 on December 24 at the same time, with a high of 0.3781 and a low of 0.3635. Total volume over the 24-hour period was 24,157,762.8, with a notional turnover of approximately $8.78 million.

Price experienced a sharp reversal from a Bollinger Band contraction early in the session, followed by a strong push toward 0.3781 after 16:30 ET. A bullish engulfing candle at 18:45 ET confirmed the breakout from a key resistance cluster near 0.3740. The RSI has been in overbought territory for several hours, suggesting a possible near-term consolidation phase.

Bollinger Bands remain expanded, with price trading near the +1σ level. The 20-period MA on the 5-minute chart is currently below the 24-hour close, offering initial support near 0.3720. Volume spiked significantly during the final 4.5 hours, aligning with price action and reinforcing the breakout’s legitimacy.

Fibonacci retracement levels from the 0.3635–0.3781 swing suggest 0.3740 (61.8%) as a psychological barrier to watch, while the 200-day MA at ~0.3700 offers a potential area of consolidation.

Looking ahead, a test of 0.3781–0.3800 could follow if bullish momentum holds, but overbought conditions and a lack of follow-through volume may invite a short-term pullback. Investors should remain cautious of divergences between price and RSI.
