Tezos slides 7.06% to $0.2948

Highlights

Tezos launched TzEL, an experimental privacy rollup leveraging zk-STARK proofs and post-quantum cryptography for private transactions.
TzEL's testnet status precludes real-value use, resulting in no immediate adoption impact while price remains under selling pressure.
XTZ trades below key moving averages with multiple bearish signals; five-day range seen at $0.285–$0.310 amid persistent downside risk.

Experimental privacy rollup spurs tech progress but not demand

Tezos introduced TzEL, an experimental privacy rollup on its testnet that uses zk-STARK proofs and post-quantum cryptography to enable private transactions. This development highlights progress in privacy technology by leveraging Tezos' rollup architecture and data availability layer, aiming to process larger proofs that could resist quantum computing attacks. However, as TzEL is still in the experimental phase and does not involve transactions with real value, it had limited immediate impact on demand or adoption, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum persists as XTZ stays below major supports

On the technical front, XTZ is firmly below major support levels, trading under the SMA-20 ($0.3389), SMA-50 ($0.3593), and SMA-200 ($0.4310). The Ichimoku Kijun level of $0.3500 appears as immediate resistance. Bearish pressure is underscored by negative daily and weekly MACD and ADX readings. Oversold signals are seen in the RSI (D1: 38.9, W1: 35.7) and CCI (D1: -102.7), while the Stoch RSI indicates a strong sell. BBP is only slightly positive on the daily, hinting at modest buyer presence, while the AO remains neutral.

Sideways action likely as downside risks dominate outlook

For the upcoming five trading days, the price is expected to remain within a typical volatility band of $0.285 to $0.310, reflecting the prevailing downtrend. All major weekly indicators show sell signals, lowering the likelihood of a reversal and putting the probability of an upswing below 20%. The baseline scenario calls for sideways consolidation between $0.285 and $0.310. Should resistance at $0.310 break, limited upside movement may occur, but if $0.285 fails to hold, further declines are likely with no clear support nearby.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Tezos under strong bearish pressure both technically and sentiment-wise. He points out that the TzEL privacy rollup signals clear technical progress but offers little immediate impact for price or adoption as it is still experimental. The analyst expects sideways or lower movement as long as the asset trades under $0.310, with no high-probability bullish scenario for now. "Unless Tezos can reclaim major resistances above $0.310, my base case is further consolidation or downside — I remain defensive on XTZ."

Earlier, analysts noted that Tezos remained under sustained bearish pressure, with a cautious outlook prevailing amid persistent technical weakness. The latest price action and oscillators reinforce this bearish scenario, making the $0.285 level a critical support to monitor for potential further declines in the coming sessions.
