Quick Summary
- Recent Price Surge: Stacks (STX) experienced a 12% price increase in the last 24 hours, making it a top performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies.
- Driving Factors: The price growth is attributed to the Nakamoto Upgrade and the introduction of sBTC, a wrapped version of Bitcoin.
- Recovery from Previous Losses: After a significant drop last week, STX has rebounded by 34% since the start of this week, rising from a support level of $1.30 to $1.67.
- Resistance Levels and Potential Growth: If the bullish trend continues, STX could target resistance areas between $1.81 and $1.94, and potentially reach previous highs of $2.41 and $3.39, with an all-time high of $3.76 as the ultimate goal.
- Downside Risks: If STX fails to hold above $1.94 and drops below $1.49, it could retest the support zone between $1.30 and $1.24. A further decline could see it fall back to the $0.67 to $0.88 range from December 2023.

- After Stacks suffered significantly last week, the price has recovered significantly by 34 percentage points since the beginning of the week. Starting from the important support area of ​​around 1.30 US dollars, the STX price rose to 1.67 US dollars in the last few hours of trading.
Also Read: Potential Heights for Shiba Inu Amidst a $1 Million Bitcoin Scenario - If the bulls can push the price of the Layer 2 blockchain solution further north in the course of a sustained price recovery of Bitcoin , the resistance area between 1.81 US dollars and 1.94 US dollars will initially come into focus. This area has acted as a pivot point several times in the previous months.
- If the buyers then manage to overcome this important chart zone, there would be further price potential in the direction of the June highs of 2.41 US dollars. A preliminary decision for the coming period can be expected in this area. Only when the resistance is sustainably broken through will the chart picture brighten further and the resistance zone around 2.96 US dollars should be targeted.
- If Stacks also jumps over this price level in the medium term, the chance of a breakthrough to the $3.39 mark increases. This would put the previous all-time high within reach again.
- The bulls are likely to do everything in their power to overcome this final hurdle to push Stacks back towards the previous high of $3.76 from March of this year.
- However, if the STX price were to sustainably bounce south at the resistance level of around $1.94 and subsequently break back below the support level of $1.49, there is a risk of a retest of the zone around the weekly low between $1.30 and $1.24.
- If the bulls cannot stabilize the price here in the wake of continued weakness in the leading crypto currency Bitcoin, there is a risk of a fall back to the old breakout level from December 2023 between 0.67 US dollars and 0.88 US dollars.
