As the final day of 2025 arrives, the broader cryptocurrency market is showing modest strength, with both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading slightly in the green. This steady performance among major assets has helped stabilize overall market sentiment, creating room for select altcoins — including Chiliz (CHZ) — to develop constructive technical setups.

CHZ is standing out with an impressive 18% daily gain. More importantly, price action has confirmed a technically significant breakout, strengthening the case for further upside in the near term.

Descending Channel Breakout

On the daily chart, Chiliz had been trapped inside a well-defined descending channel since its early December peak near the $0.051 region. This structure was marked by a series of lower highs and lower lows, reflecting persistent bearish pressure that gradually pushed CHZ down toward the $0.028 support area.

That bearish phase now appears to be ending. After reclaiming the 200-day moving average, CHZ decisively broke above the upper boundary of the descending channel near the $0.04451 level. This breakout signals a meaningful shift in market control, with buyers stepping back in after weeks of compression.

What’s Next for CHZ?

Following a breakout of this nature, short-term volatility is normal. A brief pullback toward the former resistance zone is often considered healthy. For CHZ, the $0.04451 area now stands as a critical support level. A successful retest of this zone, followed by renewed buying interest, would further validate the breakout and strengthen the bullish structure.

If buyers continue to defend reclaimed levels, the chart’s measured move points toward a potential upside target near the $0.06101 region. This would represent roughly a 35% advance from the breakout zone and aligns closely with the projected extension visible on the chart.

On the downside, a failure to hold above the breakout level could slow momentum and lead to consolidation. A sustained move back inside the descending channel would weaken the bullish outlook and delay any upside continuation. However, as long as CHZ remains above reclaimed resistance and the 200-day moving average, the broader technical structure favors higher prices in the sessions ahead.

For now, the breakout remains in its early stages, but CHZ appears well-positioned to extend its recovery move if overall market conditions remain supportive.
