DYDX price is flashing signs of a potential breakout as volume picks up and indicators turn bullish.
At press time, dYdX (DYDX) is trading at $0.67 and is showing signs of a potential breakout from the multi-month consolidation phase, supported by a clear uptick in volume over the past week.
Since May 8, the volume bars have risen noticeably, coinciding with three consecutive strong bullish candles and then a period of tight price clustering. That surge in price action led to a bullish crossover, with the EMA 20 crossing above the SMA 50, which is often seen as a signal of shifting momentum in favor of buyers. The price continues to hold above both moving averages.
With the latest peak around $0.75, DYDX price has once again tested the upper boundary of the consolidation range. This level had previously acted as strong resistance, with the price being rejected there twice—first at the beginning and then again at the end of March. However, there was no significant uptick in volume and no bullish crossover between the moving averages at the time. In contrast, the current setup is much stronger, with rising volume and a confirmed bullish crossover, both suggesting that this test of resistance may lead to a sustained breakout rather than another rejection.
Momentum indicators further support the bullish case for DYDX, with the RS currently holding above 50, signaling strengthening bullish momentum without yet being overbought. It has remained consistently above its midline in recent weeks, showing a shift in sentiment from neutral to bullish. The MACD has also turned positive, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line and both trending upward.
Looking ahead, the next immediate target is around $0.80, provided the price breaks cleanly above the $0.75 resistance with good volume and strong follow-through. This level represents the upper boundary of the range formed after the breakout above the descending trendline.
A decisive move above $0.80 would open the door to the $1.10–$1.20 zone, which served as a key support area before the breakdown that led to the move below $0.80. If momentum continues to build and DYDX reclaims this zone, the next major target would be the psychological $2.00 level and potentially beyond.
The potential upcoming rally may be buoyed by the recent developments on the tokenomics side, most notably dYdX’s launch of its first-ever token buyback program. This initiative, which began on March 24, allocates 25% of net protocol fees toward purchasing DYDX from the open market and staking it to bolster network security. Coupled with a 50% reduction in emissions expected in June, this may provide fundamental support to any bullish price action in the near term.
