CRV price has been grinding lower since late 2025, and the Curve DAO token is now pressing against the lower boundary of a descending channel that has defined its price action for months. The $0.20 level is within reach, and the chart is setting up a clear binary outcome: hold and recover, or break into uncharted territory.<\/p>\n
\n Summary<\/span>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Curve DAO (CRV<\/a>) price is trading at $0.2118 on April 6, down 8.10% over the prior 24 hours, as the Curve DAO token continues to lose ground within a descending channel that has defined its structure since late 2025. The token is pressing against the lower boundary of that channel, with $0.20 now the critical downside reference for traders watching the DeFi sector\u2019s largest decentralised exchange protocol.<\/p>\n On the daily chart, CRV has been contained within a descending channel since late 2025, with the upper trendline aligning with the Supertrend at $0.2495 and acting as rolling bearish resistance. The lower channel boundary is converging on price near $0.20, leaving a narrowing range that typically precedes a more directional move. The daily MACD shows the MACD line at 0.0005 crossing marginally above the signal at -0.0078, a tentative early stabilisation signal, though volume has not produced any spike that would confirm genuine accumulation behind that reading.<\/p>\n On the 4H chart, a descending wedge pattern has formed between two converging trendlines, with the lower bound at the Supertrend support of $0.2071 and the upper bound at $0.2224. A descending wedge is technically a bullish reversal pattern, though the 4H MACD at 0.0004 is essentially flat, providing no directional confirmation at this timeframe.<\/p>\n A March 2 flash loan exploit<\/a> on the sDOLA-crvUSD Curve LlamaLend pool, involving an improper oracle configuration that temporarily distorted pool pricing, has continued to weigh<\/a> on market sentiment. Curve Finance confirmed its core protocol contracts were unaffected, but the incident left a residual risk premium in CRV pricing that has not yet fully cleared.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 4H Supertrend at $0.2071 is the immediate support. A four-hour close below that level exposes the $0.20 psychological level, which aligns with the projected daily channel lower boundary. A daily close below $0.20 would represent a significant breakdown, with $0.18, the token\u2019s lowest level from August 2024 per TradingView data<\/a>, as the next structural reference below. That $0.18 level is the bear case extended target and the point at which the current thesis would require reassessment.<\/p>\n On the upside, the $0.2224 level is the upper bound of the 4H descending wedge and the first resistance to clear. The daily Supertrend at $0.2495 is the key level that must be reclaimed to challenge the broader downtrend. A confirmed daily close above $0.2495 would be the first credible signal the descending channel is being genuinely challenged.<\/p>\n According to CoinGlass data, CRV futures open interest declined 11.47% to $74.45 million as of late March, while the OI-weighted funding rate of 0.0067% signals marginally net-long positioning despite the price slide. A market analyst noted in a March 30 analysis that the current phase reflects \u201caccumulation, not decline,\u201d but added<\/a> that a confirmed bullish reversal would only materialise on a move back toward the $0.30 to $0.32 range. That remains a significant distance from current price, and the technical structure has not yet provided the confirmation that view requires.<\/p>\n If $0.2071 gives way on the 4H chart, a test of $0.20 looks probable. A close above $0.2495 on the daily would be the first real sign the descending channel structure is being challenged.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
