During the last one week, Tezos bulls tried to claim the immediate resistance level, but the downward selling pressure pushed the price, back to its current support level, and the prices may continue to consolidate here for the next few days.

Looking at some of the technical indicators, the Awesome oscillator readings confirmed a bearish market momentum. The dotted lines of Parabolic SAR above the candles were also signaling a southward price trend.
Bears continue to dominate the ALGO market, as with a retest of the current support level their strength could further be confirmed at the $0.29 level.
If the price goes further south, bearish momentum may be observed till the pivot level of $ 0.28 in the coming trading sessions.
