In the cryptocurrency market, multiple major events have unfolded over the past week, including U.S. President Trump’s announcement of the Crypto Strategic Reserve and executive orders for a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve . Additionally, the recent White House Crypto Summit was expected to drive significant upside momentum in the market. However, despite these, major altcoins continue to struggle, extending the downside move that began following the November rally.
Amidst this uncertain sentiment, Cronos (CRO) has stood out with an impressive 10% gain today, narrowing its 90-day decline to 53%.

CRO recently broke out of a falling wedge pattern, which had suppressed its price in a prolonged downtrend for weeks. The breakout was initially fueled by the announcement of the “U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve” initiative on Sunday, pushing CRO past the wedge’s upper boundary and reaching a local high of $0.1026.
Following this breakout, the price retraced to retest the trendline support at $0.075 on Wednesday amid overall market turbulence. This retest was successful, with CRO rebounding to $0.091, confirming the breakout and laying the groundwork for further upside movement.
CRO is now approaching a key resistance zone at $0.1026, highlighted as a critical rejection area in previous attempts to break higher. A successful breakout above this level would open the door for a recovery and to test of the 200-day Moving Average (200MA) at $0.1162. If bullish momentum continues, CRO could potentially surge toward the $0.13 – $0.15 range, offering a potential 65% upside from its current level.
The MACD indicator is showing clear signs of bullish momentum. The MACD line has crossed above the signal line, a strong buy signal, while the histogram bars are turning positive, indicating increasing buying pressure. Additionally, the overall market sentiment appears to be shifting, with buyers stepping in at key levels to support further upside movement.
Final Thoughts
CRO’s recent price action suggests a shift in trend, with a successful breakout and confirmation retest signaling potential further gains. If the price holds above $0.091 and breaks past $0.1026, CRO could see a strong recovery toward the 200MA and beyond. However, traders should remain cautious of broader market volatility, as overall altcoin sentiment remains mixed.
