Highlights

Celestia (TIA) trades at $1, below its MA-20 ($1.2183), MA-50 ($1.4598), and MA-200 ($1.946), confirming persistent bearish momentum across all timeframes.

Bearish price action dominates as TIA declines 7.49% to $1, with oversold oscillators and weak momentum suggesting sub-$0.90 support tests and a weekly range of $0.6870–$0.8450.

Liquidity rises as unlock and market tensions boost trading activity

A token unlock on October 20, 2025 released approximately $939,000 worth of TIA tokens to early investors and team members, boosting circulating supply and liquidity. This event was accompanied by increased spot market accumulation, with $5.49 million in token buys and heightened network activity, evidenced by over 35,300 data availability transactions in 24 hours. Broader market sentiment was influenced by persistent U.S.-China trade tensions and ongoing Bitcoin volatility.

Mixed momentum with oversold signals challenging sustained selling pressure

Momentum signals remain weak, with the daily MACD showing strong selling pressure and the ADX indicating a significant, though slightly conflicting, bullish undertone on D1. RSI is deep in oversold territory, joined by CCI, while Stoch RSI signals a short-term buy but also registers oversold readings on multiple timeframes. BBP sits neutral, signaling balanced forces intraday. The Awesome Oscillator provides a supportive buy signal, but overall, the technical backdrop is mixed. The price declined 7.49% today, opening at $1.003 and slipping to $1, with no significant gap at the open. The current price trades near the day's low of $0.981, within a narrow range and low volatility, suggesting steady selling pressure after the open. There is a clear divergence between extreme oversold oscillators and ongoing momentum selling, reinforcing a lack of bullish reversal confirmation.

Low reversal odds as bearish bias dominates expected price range

For the coming week, the expected range for TIA is $0.6870 to $0.8450, with the average near $0.7660. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making a further decline more likely. In the baseline scenario, price stays sideways between $0.70 and $0.85 as oversold conditions persist. A bullish scenario would require a close above $1.22, while further bearish movement could develop if the price breaks and holds below $0.90 support, opening the path to the projected weekly low.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, senior analyst at Traders Union, notes that Celestia (TIA) continues to exhibit decisive bearish momentum, with price action well below key moving averages and unrelenting selling pressure confirmed by both momentum and oscillators. He sees the recent token unlock and rising network activity as positive signals for token adoption and long-term liquidity, but believes that current macro headwinds, like global trade tensions and Bitcoin-driven market uncertainty, are clearly weighing on sentiment in the near term. Karapetjanc remains constructive, stating: "While technicals remain challenged, the fundamentals are improving and, once broader sentiment stabilizes, I expect TIA to outperform on renewed demand and institutional interest."

Previously it was reported that Bitwise Europe launched the Bitwise Celestia Staking ETP amid notable token unlocks and heightened selling activity. The article also noted a bearish outlook in technical signals, highlighting that momentum signals on the daily chart appeared mixed while downside pressure persisted.
