The token began the day near $0.2993 and briefly dipped before rallying to a high of $0.316. Although a slight pullback followed, the price has since stabilized, supported by stronger buyer interest. The $0.299 to $0.300 range now acts as a strong support zone, while $0.316 remains a key resistance level.

The price trend also reveals higher lows, signaling growing confidence among buyers. This is particularly significant as the market reacts to large-scale transfers like Hashed’s, which can create uncertainty. Still, the price action suggests that the bulls are not backing down, despite potential sell pressure looming from major token holders.
