- Despite short-term price drops to $0.24, CRV remains within a massive weekly demand zone against Bitcoin, maintaining a bullish macro bias.
- Analysts expect a final “shakeout” or lower-timeframe (LTF) deviation before a confirmed reclaim of range lows triggers a sharp reversal.
- A successful reclaim of the underside of the current range could see CRV outperform BTC by 100%, potentially driving the USD price toward the $0.30+ resistance.
The volatile world of decentralized finance, Curve DAO Token (CRV) has been a focal point for traders and investors alike. As the governance token for Curve Finance, one of the leading DEXs for stablecoin swaps, CRV’s price action often reflects broader DeFi sentiment. Recent weeks have seen CRV slide back to its range lows, prompting concerns among holders. However, prominent crypto analyst CredibleCrypto offers a reassuring perspective in his latest X post, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between low-timeframe (LTF) fluctuations and higher-timeframe (HTF) structures.
The CRV/BTC Anchor: Why the Weekly Demand Zone Matters
CredibleCrypto notes that CRV failed to hold its local green demand zone on LTF charts, leading to a retreat near range bottoms. This weakness is particularly stark against Bitcoin (BTC), which has maintained a higher low during the same period. Yet, zooming out to the CRV/BTC weekly chart reveals a different story: CRV has been sitting in a key demand zone since October 2025. “We are still sitting in weekly demand—and as long as this is the case, we remain bullishly biased from current levels on CRV outperformance against BTC,” he explains.
The analyst draws parallels between current movements and prior patterns. Recent bleeds from range highs to lows on CRV/USD correspond to minor purple zones on the CRV/BTC chart, which are mere LTF deviations within a larger HTF support area. He anticipates a potential undershoot below lows—akin to the deviation at range highs—followed by a reclaim and reversal. This could initiate another outperformance phase, similar to earlier orange zones where CRV/USD climbed to highs.
USD Projections: Tracking the Path to $0.30 and Beyond
Illustrating this, CredibleCrypto’s chart shows CRV/USD in a purple consolidation phase, with annotations indicating a 19% move back to range highs if CRV/BTC reclaims its underside. Even a modest 100% gain on CRV/BTC could propel CRV/USD significantly higher. For active traders, monitoring LTF BTC action is crucial, as it may dictate whether red deviation zones are cleared for continuation to $0.30+.
For long-term investors employing dollar-cost averaging (DCA), CredibleCrypto advises ignoring the noise: “Those DCA’ing here based on HTF ideas should not get caught up in what is essentially LTF noise.” This aligns with Curve’s fundamentals, including its veCRV locking mechanism and ongoing integrations in the DeFi ecosystem, which could fuel future growth.
While risks remain if HTF supports break, the analysis underscores patience. As DeFi evolves, CRV’s position in stablecoin liquidity pools positions it for potential upside in a maturing market. Traders should watch for signs of reversal at these lows, as a breakout could signal the start of a broader rally.
