Despite this and other recent key developments, price remains largely devoid of any strong momentum.
IOTA price – bounce or dip?
Bitcoin’s run to the new all-time high above $73k in March catalysed strong gains for most altcoins. Ethereum for instance reached a multi-year peak above $4,000 while Solana, BNB and even Dogecoin soared.
IOTA did manage to break above $0.30 during the broader market spike in March. However, it remained well below its 2021 highs above $2 and as a result has dropped out of the top 100 by market cap.
Can IOTA’s price recover to the last bull market highs and potentially eye a retest of its ATH?
IOTA price chart
IOTA/USD on the weekly chart is below the 50-week EMA and the RSI is trending lower below 50.
A symmetrical triangle pattern is also formed on the daily chart, with price capped by a downtrend line since mid-March.
If price breaks out from the upper trend line, IOTA could retest levels at $0.35 and potentially $0.41 to allow for a bullish breakout in line with the broader market.
On the flipside, a breakdown for IOTA from the lower trend line would indicate a bearish trend. In this case, a drop to $0.20 is possible, below which bears could target October 2023 lows of $0.13.
