On the intraday charts, XTZ/USD moved above 1-hour SMA50 at $2.59 and extended the recovery into the middle of the recent sloping channel with the upper boundary created by 1-hour SMA100 at $2.62. Once this level is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on the recent recovery high at $2.68 and $2.70, which is reinforced by 1-hour SMA100. The next short-term aim comes at psychological $3.00.
On the downside, a move back below $2.59 will worsen the immediate forecast and allow for an extended decline towards $2.50. The next strong support comes at $2.43, which is the lowest level since May 15.
