Stacks (STX) Climbs Another 9% Amid Bitcoin Rally, How High Can It Go?

The Stacks (STX) bulls are currently riding the Bitcoin rally. Within the last seven days, the Stacks token is up 70%, 255% over the last 30 days, and a whopping 456% over the last three months. Without a doubt, the layer-2 technology has benefited from Bitcoin’s strength during the recent move; BTC dominance has increased from around 40% at the beginning of the year to nearly 46% at the moment.

With the brewing banking crisis and optimism towards Bitcoin, there is a strong case for Stacks to continue rising in the medium term. However, the 1-week chart shows that STX is approaching an important level where it could face a strong headwind.

At press time, Stacks was trading at $1.22 and targeting the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.40. At this price, the STX bulls may stall and a pullback may occur. This is also supported by the overbought RSI on the weekly chart at 83.

In the worst case scenario, a retracement towards the 23.6% level at $0.94 could be in play, which could provide an excellent buying opportunity for bulls. However, if Stacks blows past the $1.40 level with ease, $1.78 (50% Fibonacci) and $2.16 (61.8% Fibonacci) would be the next targets for a bull market rally.

Before tackling the all-time high of $3.38 from November 2021, the price level of $2.70 would be the last major hurdle.

Looking at the 1-day chart reveals that Stacks bulls are showing some hesitation at the moment. The range between $1.30 and $1.32 is the area which is preventing a push towards the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.40 in the weekly chart for the moment.

A consolidation down to $1.09 would be healthy to bring down the RSI of 72 in the daily chart, before a bigger rally can continue.
