Sei price bottoms as DeFi TVL hits ATH despite the crypto crash

Sei’s price has been in a strong downward trend over the past few months, but technical and fundamental indicators suggest that a rebound may be possible. Sei ( SEI ), a layer-1 token, dropped to a low of $0.1722 this week, down over 70% from its highest level in December. According to DeFi Llama , Sei’s decentralized finance or DeFi ecosystem is firing on all cylinders. The total value locked in the network jumped to a record high of $340 million — a significant increase considering it bottomed at $170 million in February. This is also a major achievement since most layer-1 and layer-2 networks have shed assets during the ongoing crypto crash .

Sailor, a DEX network, holds $53 million in assets, while Stargate, Dragon Swap, and Avalon Labs have also added assets. Sei’s price may also get a boost from rising demand for the token. Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial recently acquired SEI tokens worth over $100,000 — a sign that the team sees value in the token.

SEI has also formed a bullish divergence pattern. The MACD indicator has continued rising even as the price has fallen. Similarly, the Relative Strength Index has formed a series of higher highs and higher lows. Therefore, the token will likely bounce back in the next few days, with the next point to watch being at $0.7343, its highest swing in December. This target is about 265% above the current level. A drop below the support at $0.180 will invalidate the bullish view. You might also like: MoonPay secures Wisconsin money transmitter license in effort to expand US services CoinOtag
