After a sharp decline in the second week of June, the price of Tezos (XTZ) rebounded from its $1.2 low. Tuesday, despite a highly volatile market, the altcoin price reached a new all-time high, rising slowly but steadily.
XTZ was a prominent performer to usher in the week, as prices surged to a three-week high. Following Monday’s session low of $1.50, XTZ climbed to an intraday high of $1.60 yesterday.
As of the time of writing, XTZ was trading at $1.54, an increase of 6.0 percent over the previous week. This increase in price caused the token to collide with a significant resistance level at $1.67, and gains have subsequently retreated.

Tezos (XTZ) On Steady Upswing
Moreover, the continuing surge was maintained when the price of XTZ gained a steady footing at $1.32. The upswing pushed the altcoin 27 percent higher as it breached the previous swing resistance at $1.65.
A continuous decline over the past eight months pushed XTZ to a January-March 2020 support level of $1.2, representing a loss of 85 percent. However, on June 19, the altcoin soon rebounded.
The positive turnaround pushed the XTZ price 33 percent higher to $1.62, where it encountered strong resistance. Nonetheless, over the previous four days, the price rejection at the indicated level has increased, indicating that sellers are defending this level.
