- Celestia is testing the $2.20 level, and breaking it could push the price toward $2.70, $3.38, and $4.20.
- support is holding at $1.70 and $1.40, where buyers have stepped in to stop drops before.
- Momentum is improving as RSI moves above 50 and MACD levels tighten, hinting at growing strength in the market.
Celestia (TIA) is challenging the upper boundary of its long-term descending channel. After months of bearish action, the token shows renewed strength, and traders are watching whether $2.20 finally gives way to a larger move.
Channel Resistance Back in Play
Since late November 2024, TIA has traded inside a clear descending channel. Lower highs and lower lows shaped the trend, keeping pressure on buyers for almost nine months, as noted by Jonathan Carter.
Support repeatedly formed near $1.40, where sharp rebounds and volume spikes showed buyers stepping in. Still, each rally was capped at channel resistance, keeping the bearish setup intact.
That structure is now being tested once more. Price has climbed toward the top boundary, closing near $1.82 on August 16 with a 2.88% session gain. If bulls clear $2.20, the channel breaks — opening the door to higher levels.
Key Levels Define Next Move
If bulls clear $2.20, the next upside targets are $2.70, $3.38, and $4.20. With little liquidity above this level, price could accelerate quickly once resistance breaks. A strong volume peak sits at $4.20, making it the next major barrier.
On the downside, $1.70 is the first key support, followed by $1.40. These zones have drawn in heavy demand during past declines, preventing deeper drops. Losing them would weaken the broader structure.
Market cap data from August 10 to 16 highlights this volatility. Value rose sharply from $1.28B to $1.50B midweek, then retraced below $1.32B. By August 16, it stabilized near $1.35B, showing early signs of consolidation.
Momentum Indicators Shift
On the 4-hour chart, TIA has moved between $1.60 and $2.20 since July. A late-July peak near $2.40 led to correction, but August brought fresh strength
MACD readings confirm the change. After sliding negative earlier this month, histogram bars are now narrowing, hinting at consolidation before a possible reversal. RSI, which dipped to 35, has recovered to 51, showing stronger momentum.
Volume also supports the recovery. Spikes appeared during rallies toward $2.00 and rebounds from $1.60, proving buyers are active at key zones.
