Zilliqa (ZIL) is nearing key resistance, trading at $0.0050 on Wednesday; a rejection could trigger a deeper correction. The weakening derivatives positioning among traders further supports the bearish price action in ZIL. In addition, the technical outlook suggests further correction as momentum indicators turn negative.

Zilliqa Price Analysis: ZIL bears are in control of the momentum
Zilliqa price closed below the ascending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple lows since December 19) on Tuesday, indicating a shift in market structure. As of Wednesday, ZIL is nearly at this breakout zone, which roughly coincides with daily resistance at $0.0051 and the 50% price level (drawn from the December low of $0.0042 to the January 12 high at $0.0061) at $0.0052, making this a key reversal zone.
If ZIL faces rejection from these resistance levels, it could extend the decline toward the December 31 low of $0.0046.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 45, below the neutral level of 50, indicating bearish momentum is gaining traction. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also showed a bearish crossover on Tuesday, further supporting the negative outlook.
However, if ZIL recovers and closes above the daily resistance at $0.0051 on a daily basis, it could extend the advance toward the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.0054.
