Core DAO Powers Past Resistance as Bulls Eye the $1.01 Breakout Zone

• Core DAO (CORE) has rallied over 100% in the last 30 days, with analysts targeting a breakout above the critical $1.01 resistance level.

• Despite overbought signals on the RSI and oscillators, the token’s bullish structure, volume surge, and strong technical indicators suggest further upside potential

Core DAO (CORE) has reignited market interest with an explosive 100.52% rally over the past 30 days, cementing its position as one of the top-performing assets in the crypto space. At the time of writing, CORE is trading at $0.764, inching closer to its recent cycle high of $0.814. While the token still lags 22% behind short-term price predictions, it has sharply outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum, gaining over 9% in the last 24 hours alone.

The current forecast models indicate a potential move to $1.01 by May 10, 2025 — a gain of approximately 30% from current levels. This optimism is reflected in the token’s consistency: it has recorded 17 green days out of the last 30 despite remaining nearly 65% down year-over-year. When viewed against recent momentum, this long-term underperformance suggests a strong potential for reversal if key resistance levels are breached.

Meanwhile, market sentiment is currently at a neutral zone and the fear and greed index also at 54. Although, CORE’s recent breakout structure favours the bulls. 

Indicators are positive but Also Warn of Overheating Momentum

CORE’s technical landscape reveals a story of strength and caution. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 66 places the token in a  bullish territory, a condition that traditionally suggests an imminent pullback.

However, in intense, bullish phases, such RSI levels can persist as investors double down on a breakout potential. The MACD indicator also supports CORE’s breakout potential as its firm at 0.01 and reinforces an uptrend narrative.

Also, oscillator readings tell a more tempered story. The Stochastic RSI flashes overbought signals, while the Ultimate Oscillator is at  neutral territory.This implies that while the current trajectory remains upward, caution is warranted in the short term.

Still, the Average Directional Index (ADX) at 29.12 suggests that the existing trend is strong enough to continue, especially if reinforced by increasing volume.

Resistance Zones Tighten as Market Watches $1 Threshold

CORE’s next movement will be decisive as it nears critical inflection points. CORE’S resistance levels are currently forming at $0.800, $0.837, and most significantly at $1.01  which is a psychological and technical barrier that, if broken, could signal the start of a broader rally. 

Meanwhile, key support sits at $0.723, $0.686, and $0.666, providing a cushion in case of short-term retracement.

CORE’s recent breakout at  ($0.69) and Hull Moving Average ($0.73) underscores its bullish potential. These major indicators often precede price accelerations and hint that further upside may be on the horizon. Moreover, the Ichimoku cloud baseline, positioned around $0.57, confirms the token has decisively moved out of resistance territory and is building a new support structure above previous congestion zones.

Volatility remains elevated at 18.57%, consistent with the recent price swings and increased trading activity. While this level of volatility is risky for short-term positions, it is often welcomed by traders seeking breakout opportunities. With the rising volume and increasing social buzz, the conditions align for a potential rally continuation if CORE holds above the $0.78 support-turned-resistance flip.
