Dusk (DUSK) Testing Key Resistance — Is an Upside Breakout on Horizon?

DUSK-5,1%
ETH1,16%

Key Takeaways

  • DUSK has gained over 90% in 30 days, outperforming most of the market

  • Price is trading inside a descending broadening wedge on the 4H chart — a bullish reversal pattern

  • Strong bounce occurred from $0.0762 support

  • Current price is pressing against wedge resistance near $0.102

  • A breakout could target $0.1338 (around 20–25% upside)


**DUSK **— the native utility token of Dusk Network, a privacy-first, permissionless Layer-1 blockchain — has quietly been showing impressive relative strength while the broader crypto market struggles.

Over the past 30 days, Ethereum (ETH) has dropped more than 33%, dragging most altcoins lower. In contrast, DUSK has remained firmly bullish, posting over 90% gains during the same period.

More importantly, its chart structure now hints that this move may not be over yet.

Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern in Play

On the 4-hour timeframe, DUSK has been trading inside a descending broadening wedge — a classic bullish reversal pattern that typically forms during corrective phases and often resolves with an upside breakout.

During the recent pullback, price tagged the lower wedge support near $0.0762, where buyers stepped in aggressively. That level marked a clear local bottom.

Since then, DUSK has rebounded strongly, climbing back toward $0.1022, placing price just beneath the upper wedge resistance.

Now, momentum is compressing near this trendline — a setup that frequently precedes sharp directional moves.

In simple terms: DUSK is knocking on the door of resistance.

What’s Next for DUSK?

If bulls manage to push price above the upper wedge boundary, it would confirm a bullish breakout and validate the reversal structure.

In that scenario, the chart projects a move toward the $0.1338 region, which aligns with the next visible supply zone. From current levels, that represents roughly 20–25% upside.

A clean breakout backed by volume would also strengthen the broader bullish narrative, suggesting that DUSK could continue outperforming many large-cap altcoins in the short term.

As long as price holds above the recent swing low, momentum remains with buyers.

Key Risk to Watch

On the downside, failure to break resistance — followed by a drop back below $0.091 — would signal weakness and could open the door for a retest of the **$0.081 **support area.

For now, however, DUSK remains structurally constructive, with buyers still in control.
