Pyth Network price sets the stage for next leg

Pyth Network price consolidated for 11 days between January 21 and February 1 below $0.427. The breakout on February 2 led to a nearly 50% rally, but profit-taking reduced the total gains to 25% on candlestick closes. 

Currently, Pyth Network price is retracing and is likely going to settle around $0.427. While there could be fluke deviations below this level, investors should not get shaken out. Instead, traders should watch for a quick recovery above $0.427. If successful, Pyth Network price could be setting the stage for the next run-up.

In this case, investors can expect the potential upswing to face a slowdown around the $0.491 and $0.518 resistance levels. But a decisive flip of these hurdles into a foothold will open the path for PYTH to rally 47% and $0.759.

This move would constitute a nearly 80% gain from $0.427.

PYTH/USDT 12-hour chart

Regardless of the extremely bullish outlook, Pyth Network price could fail to hold above $0.427 due to the current market conditions. In some cases, the deviation could occur below $0.370 as well. But a decisive twelve-hour candlestick close below $0.370 will invalidate the bullish thesis for PYTH.

This development could see Pyth Network price crash 12% and tag $0.323.
