LAYER cools off after $2.20 rejection

Published: Apr 22, 2025

Share:

Layer rejected sharply at $2.20, signalling potential exhaustion. While trendline support still holds, bearish targets below remain valid as RSI resets and momentum begins to fade.

Technical analysis & market mechanics

  • $2.20 acted as a clear exhaustion level, marking the current local top.
  • Price is now pulling back, showing signs of cooling after the move.
  • RSI sits between 50-54 - reset to neutral, not overbought or oversold.
  • This leaves room for another push back into $2.20, if momentum builds.
  • Local support is at $2.00, with secondary support at $1.90.
  • A support trendline remains in play - structure holds as long as price trades above, and chances of further upside remain high while we trade above this diagonal support
  • Near-term downside target sits at $1.60.
  • Longer-term target sits at $1.35 - aligns with macro breakdown expectations.
  • The chart remains bullish relative to the broader market, but is beginning to show early signs of topping.

Cryptonary's take

Layer has shown its hand. The rejection at $2.20 confirms it as a clear top for now, and we're treating that zone as our key short entry region going forward. With RSI now reset around 50, there's room for another leg higher, which lines up perfectly for late shorts or adding size. If price revisits $2.00-$2.20, we want to be positioned.

Trendline support still holds, so any short must be managed actively until the structure breaks. First target is $1.60, with $1.35 as the larger breakdown objective. This remains a standout chart - still strong - but that's exactly why we're watching closely for failure.

Tactically short on strength. These setups should be approached with low risk as it's a new asset with strength and a lack of historical context.
