Yearn.Finance Price Prediction: YFI could surge to $34,000 if critical support holds

  • Yearn.Finance retreated from highs above $30,000, but buyers managed to avert losses under $20,000.
  • YFI/USD must stay above the ascending channel lower boundary to sustain the recovery eyeing $34,500.

Yearn.Finance continues to trade within an ascending parallel channel since the beginning of the month. A breakout from the current price level could complete the leg to $34,500. In the meantime, it is essential to hold a crucial support level to sustain the uptrend.

Yearn.Finance likely to breakout to $34,500

YFI was recently rejected by the upper boundary of the ascending channel. Bears swung into action, pulling YFI towards $20,000. The channel’s lower boundary support has remained intact, assisting in keeping the price above $20,000. If bulls build onto the support, a breakout might send Yearn.Finance massively upwards, with a target set at $34,500.
