Key Takeaways
Curve DAO (CRV) has been one of the most volatile DeFi tokens in recent months, alternating between explosive rallies and steep pullbacks.
Traders are now eyeing whether the consolidation will lead to a breakout or a deeper correction.
If CRV can break out of its wedge, it will confirm the start of a bullish trend reversal.
The weekly time frame CRV analysis shows that the price has increased since it broke out from a descending resistance trend line in November 2024.
At first, the surge was parabolic, leading to a high of $1.34 in December, an increase of nearly 500% since the pre-breakout levels.
However, the decline has been equally swift, taking the price to the diagonal resistance again (green icon).
Since then, CRV has traded inside a symmetrical triangle (dashed), and is in the middle, making a retest of support and resistance likely.
Even if the CRV price breaks out, it will face critical resistance at $1.20, preventing a massive increase.

Momentum indicators are also in neutral territory. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 50 while the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is positive but has nearly made a bearish cross.
As a result, the CRV price prediction for the rest of 2025 is unclear based on the weekly time frame alone.
Let’s look at a lower time frame to determine what will happen next.
There are two possibilities for the future CRV trend, based on the wave count and daily price action.
The bullish one hinged on the fact that CRV has decreased inside a descending wedge since its July highs.
The descending wedge is a bullish pattern, so a breakout from it is likely.

Adding to the bullishness, the correction contains an A-B-C structure where waves A and C have the same length, and the entire correction has ended at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement support level.
Finally, the RSI and MACD have generated bullish divergence, giving the finishing touches to the bullish CRV prediction.
A breakout from the wedge will confirm this is the correct count and could lead to much higher prices.
The bearish count plays with the symmetrical triangle analyzed in the weekly time frame.
It aligns better with the price action, since CRV has fallen under the $0.85 horizontal support area, which will now provide resistance.

Additionally, the declining RSI and MACD indicate that this is the correct count, rather than the one previously outlined.
If that is the case, CRV will gradually fall toward the triangle’s support trend line at $0.68, and a breakout will not happen until 2026.
CRV’s next move depends on whether bulls can force a breakout from the descending wedge or if bears keep the price under the $0.85 resistance.
Both scenarios are in play, since two opposing wave counts are still in play.
Until the price is decisive, traders should prepare for volatility as CRV nears a make-or-break zone.
