Key Takeaways
Ziliqa’s 0.19.0 mainnet upgrade will go live today. The hard fork will introduce two key improvements: a 7-day stake unbonding period and the jailing of faulty proposers to improve network liveness.
Although the ZIL price has trended downward for over five years, it has created a bullish short-term pattern.
Combined with the positive news, the pattern could trigger a much-needed relief rally for the Ziliqa price.
Let’s examine the charts and figure out how likely that is.
The weekly time frame ZIL chart shows that the price has fallen since its all-time high of $0.257 in May 2021.
Next year, the price created a lower high (red icon) and accelerated its downward trend.
The entire current bullish cycle has been nonexistent, as the price of ZIL has created lower highs and lower lows.
This year, the Ziliqa price action has given both bullish and bearish signals.
The bullish signal is the formation of a descending wedge, a pattern considered bullish.
However, the bearish signal is the close below the $0.008 horizontal area, which acted as support in 2020.

While the wedge is a bullish pattern, the ZIL trend cannot be considered bullish until the price reclaims the $0.008 area and breaks out from its wedge.
Momentum indicators are decisively bearish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is crashing, and so is the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD).
Since the ZIL price has trended downward for four years, the wedge’s presence is unlikely to cause a bullish trend reversal, given the other bearish signals already in place.
While the weekly time frame chart is bearish, the daily one provides some bullish signs.
More specifically, ZIL has created a triple bottom pattern combined with bullish divergences.
If the pattern holds, ZIL has likely already reached its short-term bottom and will soon begin to move upward.
The wave count also aligns, showing a breakdown from a symmetrical triangle.

The breakdown from the triangle often marks the end of the downward movement and could trigger a bullish trend reversal.
So, the ZIL price could undergo a short-term reversal, possibly returning to the $0.008 horizontal resistance again.
Ziliqa’s 0.19.0 upgrade may provide the charts with a short-term boost, particularly with the formation of triple bottoms and bullish divergences on the daily time frame.
A short-term bounce toward $0.008 is possible if momentum strengthens.
Still, with the overall trend bearish, any rally will likely meet strong resistance and reverse.
