Riot Platforms technical breakdown: $23.94 barrier unlocks a run to $29.84
|Riot Platforms, Inc. (RIOT) is a major player in Bitcoin mining and is rapidly expanding into digital infrastructure and AI services. The stock saw a sharp jump of 7.38% on Monday, closing strong at $23.00. This recent momentum has driven RIOT's three-day gain to over 21%.
Our technical analysis reveals that since the beginning of October, RIOT has been engaged in a major consolidation phase within a bullish pattern. This pattern was defined by the formation of a massive weekly topping tail at $23.94.
When that topping tail printed, the price momentarily pierced the significant March 28, 2022, high at $23.66. This makes the narrow band between $23.66 and $23.94 the most immediate and critical resistance zone for RIOT.
If RIOT can manage a decisive weekly closing price above $23.94, the probabilities shift aggressively. A clean break here would confirm the end of the consolidation and clear the way for a move to the next minor resistance at $25.11, quickly followed by the major long-term target at $29.84.
Conversely, if the sellers defending the topping tail prevail, the first major support level at $18.84 remains crucial. This level has already been tagged and is key to the overall pattern. The price can certainly continue consolidating within the range defined by the $18.84 support and the $23.94 topping tail to build more energy for an eventual, explosive breakout. However, a close below $18.84 would negate the current bullish consolidation pattern and eliminate the momentum required for the $29.84 target.
