User activity and fees persist amid continued price decline

Curve Finance reported $1.75 billion in swaps and $499,400 in protocol fees for the past week, according to Coinfomania. These figures highlight sustained user activity and revenue generation, reflecting the protocol's ongoing role as a venue for decentralized liquidity provision. However, despite these operational results, network usage has not been sufficient to counteract downward price momentum.

Technical weakness dominates as momentum signals diverge

CRV/USD is trading below its MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, indicating significant technical weakness across all tracked timeframes. The Ichimoku Kijun level sits at $0.2627, forming the immediate resistance. Momentum indicators confirm the negative outlook: MACD signals a strong sell while ADX maintains a sell bias. Both RSI and CCI are in neutral territory, but Stochastic RSI is overbought, suggesting some risk of short-term correction. Bull/Bear Power is slightly negative, reflecting intraday seller dominance, with the Awesome Oscillator remaining neutral. The divergence between the overbought Stochastic RSI and predominantly bearish momentum readings highlights short-term weakness which exceeds what oscillators alone would indicate.

Downside risk prevails with limited breakout potential

Over the next two to three trading days, CRV/USD is expected to trade within a volatility band of $0.2432 to $0.2758. Probability of an upward breakout remains low at 25%, making a downside extension the more likely scenario. The most probable short-term outcome is lateral movement within the current corridor. If price can reclaim and sustain a close above the $0.2627 resistance, a bullish scenario opens with potential for additional gains; conversely, a drop below the $0.2432 support would confirm renewed downside risk.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, notes that Curve Finance’s operational strength is visible in the steady swap volume and protocol fees, even as the CRV price remains under pressure. He recognizes the protocol’s ability to retain user engagement, which provides a solid foundation for longer-term recovery should technical conditions improve. However, Karapetjanc believes near-term downside momentum remains dominant, and a clear catalyst for reversal is still missing. "If CRV can reclaim $0.2627 and build structure above it, bullish momentum could reignite quickly," he says.

Earlier, analysts noted that Curve faced sustained downside risk amid persistent bearish momentum, with technical weakness dominating short-term price action. The current article reinforces this outlook with updated technical signals and highlights $0.2627 as a key resistance level to watch for any potential shift away from the prevailing downward scenario.
