Key Takeaways

  • Movement (MOVE) has reached a 33-day resistance trend line.
  • The MOVE price attempts to break out from the $0.87 resistance.
  • Can the MOVE price break out and increase to new highs?

Movement (MOVE) burst onto the scene with its Token-Generation Event (TGE)  on Dec. 9, immediately reaching the top 60 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The rally continued until the end of the year, with an all-time high of $1.23 on Dec. 26.

2025 has painted a different picture so far. The price broke down from a corrective pattern and fell 30% in less than a week.

However, this week’s MOVE bounce has reignited optimism, leading to speculation about a potential breakout that would take the price to new highs.

The bounce occurred after Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial purchased  roughly $2 million of MOVE tokens.

Movement Labs co-founder Rushi Manche said  that this is a vote of confidence in Movement Labs, which is “the first alternative Virtual Machine under the new administration that is made in America.”

Nevertheless, the fact that the press reported talks between Elon Musk’s DOGE team and MOVE shortly after the purchase has raised concerns about insider trading. 

Can MOVE finally end its lengthy downtrend, or will the rally fail like the others? Let’s dive deep and find out.

MOVE Price Reaches Resistance

The MOVE price has fallen under a descending resistance trend line since its all-time high of $1.23 on Dec. 26, 2024.

The downward movement accelerated in January 2025 once the price broke down from a head and shoulders pattern and the $0.87 horizontal resistance area. The breakdown led to a low of $0.63 on Jan. 25.

Since then, MOVE has regained its footing, creating a higher low and increasing nearly 30%. The MOVE bounce caused a breakout attempt from the resistance trend line and the $0.87 horizontal area, albeit unsuccessful (black icon).

Today, the MOVE price is consolidating below the confluence of resistances, possibly gearing up for another breakout attempt.

Technical indicators give a bullish MOVE prediction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) have both generated bullish divergences (green) whose trend lines are still intact.

Additionally, the RSI is above 50, while the MACD is above 0. Both are positive signs that suggest the trend is bullish.

Therefore, the six-hour time frame analysis suggests MOVE will eventually break out from the confluence of resistances near $0.87.

Can MOVE Break Out?

The wave count aligns with the positive price action and indicator readings, suggesting a breakout is imminent.

According to the count, MOVE has completed an A-B-C correction (white) after the all-time high. In it, waves A:C had a 1:1.27 ratio, which is common in such structures.

The overlap between the most recent MOVE high and the wave A low (red line) suggests that the downtrend is not impulsive. As a result, a breakout is the most likely future scenario.

If that is the case, the MOVE price could increase to at least $1, reaching the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement resistance level. Because there is a confluence of resistances at $1.10-$1.15, the Movement price may extend and reach this area.

Conversely, failure to break out will likely cause the MOVE price to decline toward the closest support at $0.63, just above the all-time low price.

MOVE Bounce to Continue

The MOVE price has likely completed its correction, with a low of $0.63 on Jan. 25. The overlap with the previous lows suggests this.

The price action and indicator readings are also positive, suggesting that a breakout is on the horizon. If the MOVE price breaks out, it could increase to at least $1 and possibly $1.10-$1.15.
