Cronos’ bullish potential could benefit from DeFi and web3 growth.
CRO price prediction
The technical outlook for CRO is optimistic, with the daily chart showing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 68.
While it’s near the overbought territory, it’s not extended to suggest bulls have room to explore more gains.
Cronos’ daily chart also shows the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with a bullish crossover, which suggests potential for further upside.
If CRO sees another leg up, it could break above $0.10 and target $0.16 and $0.21. Long-term forecasts include a surge to the all-time high of $0.96 and the psychological $1 level.
On the flipside, Crono’s price may give up gains and pull back to support around $0.087 and then $0.079.
On the possible pullback, analysts at Santiment say:
“Bitcoin traders are leaning very bullish once again with crypto’s top coin’s market value sitting just above $108.5K. Be cautious while crowd FOMO is pouring in, as it can often lead to short-term corrections.”
