Gate token (GT) price started a rally southward in early November as bears took charge of the market. The bearish takeover sent the price down around 40.18% to the $3.0 level. However, on New Year’s Eve, bulls found a U-turn and used it to change the fate of GT investors. Every trading session since then has been defined by bulls putting in the work to regain all the ground lost in the last two months of 2022.

The 2023 bull run was briefly interrupted when bears attempted a resurgence on February 3. After a week of bearish sentiment, bulls finally took over on February 10, sending the price up 23%. This price action has led to the appearance of a Cup and Handle chart pattern on the Daily chart (see below), indicating a bullish outlook aiming for higher levels. However, the price has escaped this technical formation with a projected return to the $6.91 level last tested around April.

At the time of writing, Gate token was exchanging hands for $4.94 after gaining 5.74% on the last day. Similarly, its market capitalization was up 5.77% to $536.9 million, placing GT at #84 on the CoinMarketCap list. The token also recorded remarkable trading activity, a 226.74% increase in 24 hours to $3.776 million. This indicates an increase in trading activity for the Gate token.

Gate (GT) is the native token for Gate.io, a full-service digital asset exchange platform that supports millions of users globally. The platform prides itself on offering industry-leading security and successful audits that have shown 100% proof of reserves (PoR).

The price has reacted to these positive developments on the Gate.io ecosystem.

Will GT Price Do The 39.81% Climb?

After turning away from the November 5 high at $4.8, the GT price embarked on a downtrend all the way to the $2.92 support floor. This led to 40.18% in cumulative losses. The $2.92 support floor then provided a launch pad for the Gate token, which recorded a series of higher highs and higher lows to reach the Cup’s neckline at the end of January.

The inability of the buyers to sustain the higher highs saw the price drop toward $4.2 before mildly recovering to the $4.8 level on Monday morning. This move completed the Cup’s handle, thus validating the Cup and Handle chart pattern. However, before the end of yesterday’s trading session, the price had escaped beyond the technical formation to a high of $5.4. In today’s trading session, bulls are building on top of yesterday’s gains as they plan a run to the $6.91 level.

A Cup and Handle technical setup is a significantly bullish chart pattern that, if confirmed, could trigger massive buy orders for GT token.

An increase in buying pressure from the current level will see GT record more gains toward its target. To get there, however, the price must breach the resistance at the $5.7 psychological level. Overcoming this barrier would mean bulls managed to beat the supplier congestion around that zone and make a homerun to the $6.91 target.

Such a move would bring the total gains to 39.81% from the current price.

GT/USD Daily price

Gate (GT) Token — *TradingView Chart: GT/USD*

The upward movement of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator supported the positive outlook for Gate price. The indicator was proceeding with the northward trajectory in the positive zone above the mean line. Notice that this trend-following oscillator recently sent a ‘call to buy’ GT when it crossed above the orange line.

Furthermore, there was also a pending golden cross that would manifest once the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) (line in yellow) crossed above the 200-day SMA (purple). The SMAs also provided strong downward support for the Gate price, presenting breathing bases for bulls when they needed to replenish their buying momentum.

The position of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 67 also showed there was more room to the upside as the Gate token was not yet overbought.

On the downside, the RSI was facing downward, a sign of buyers leaving the scene. If the trend continues, the RSI could soon send a ‘sell signal,’ and Gate price could reverse its trend and head south.

A rally south would see GT price lose the neckline support and that offered by the 200-day, 50-day, and 100-day SMAs at $4.09, $4.07, and $3.78, respectively. This would expose the price to a free fall to the bottom of the Cup at $2.92.
