This historical pessimism is confirmed by the TradingView daily chart, where the price has run into the massive barrier of the 200-day moving average (MA 200) at $0.00000537. The bulls’ previous attempt to break above this line in mid-August failed under selling pressure, while the current RSI reading of 51.56 points to a critical lack of buyer strength needed to overcome this wall at the beginning of autumn.

This year is already not going according to plan — in a good way. The most profitable quarter lies ahead

For medium-term investors, holding through September is a strategic necessity ahead of a strong year-end. The third quarter of 2026 is already defying bearish trends: its +20.4% return is significantly stronger than the historical Q3 average of +2.39%. The token is entering autumn in much stronger shape than in previous cycles.

Directly below the current price, a dense support block has formed around the 23-day ($0.00000492) and 50-day ($0.00000471) moving averages, which are turning upward and protecting the asset from a deeper decline. Previous years show that September consolidation serves as a foundation ahead of the fourth quarter, which has an average historical return of +71.2%, and October, or “Uptober,” with an average gain of +167.5%.
