A breakout to the upside may lead to an upturn towards resistance levels of $1.65, $2.30, and $3.40, indicating bullishness in price action.
However, it should be noted that there is still a possibility of a fakeout and that the price will test the channel again. It is crucial to have strong buying pressure for future gains.
According to TradingView, the token has demonstrated strength by breaking out of an extended consolidation pattern.
Having fallen throughout March, it has broken above the 20-period moving average, which is currently at 1.25367. This represents an acceleration in short-term momentum in its attempt to break out above the upper Bollinger Band of 1.36341.

With an RSI value of 51.68, there is a balanced market mood, which eliminates the possibility of overbought conditions, even after the latest rise in prices.
Since it stands above 50, there is some bullish sentiment among traders. It would take a breakout above the existing levels, accompanied by higher volumes, for a trend change to be confirmed.
