The Decentralized Finance chain has been gradually recovering from June’s losses. But in the process, an interesting pattern has been revealed, which might hint at XTZ’s course of action over the next couple of days.

The DeFi token is potentially looking at a 20.81% rally which could take the price of the token from $1.6 at press time to $1.94. Post which, XTZ might linger in the zone for a few more days or could end up falling right after.
