Sellers' dominance persists as intraday buyers test bearish signals
Momentum signals on the daily chart remain largely bearish, with MACD showing strong downside pressure and ADX indicating a weak, trendless environment. Most oscillators (RSI at 38.92, CCI at –96.87) suggest the market is not oversold yet but generally points to sellers’ dominance, reinforced by a negative BBP reading. The daily session saw a strong 7.69% advance to $0.4214, with no meaningful gap between previous close and today’s open and the price finishing near the top end of today’s range, reflecting high intraday volatility and strength toward the highs. Notably, while daily momentum favors sellers, the intraday tone and oscillators diverge, showing buyers reemerging in the short run despite the prevailing bearish bias.
Range-bound outlook prevails as downside pressure dominates weekly signals
Over the next week, expect CRV to trade between $0.3800 and $0.4550, normalized to reflect the current price and historical volatility. There is a very low probability (less than 20%) of a sustained upside, as all key weekly indicators (MA, RSI, MACD, ADX) favor further downside and suggest the likelihood of a bearish move outweighs the chance of a rebound. The baseline scenario is for range-bound price action between $0.3800 and $0.4550 — a bullish move would require a decisive breakout above $0.4560, while a close below $0.3800 could accelerate further declines toward deeper support.
Previously it was reported that Curve continued to trade below all key moving averages, as sellers maintained control and technical indicators such as MACD, ADX, and RSI signaled prevailing bearish momentum near oversold conditions. Analysts noted that resistance levels capped upside potential while increased volatility and subdued trend strength combined to keep the price confined within a narrow range, with a persistent bearish outlook dominating short-term scenarios.
