- An analyst eyed a 140% increase to $3.78.
Over the past 30 days, the altcoin market has attempted to recover, making significant gains. Amidst this recovery, none has remained consistent like Stacks [STX].
As of this writing, STX was trading at $1.61, marking a 15.68% surge on weekly charts. Also, on monthly charts, it increased by 5.78%.
Despite the upsurge, STX remained 58% below from its ATH of $3.92 reached on the 31st of March. However, the recent price movements have revived optimism, with analysts betting big on altcoin’s future.
For instance, the Popular crypto analyst Johncy Crypto predicted a 140% increase for STX, citing breakout from the downward channel.

STX has broken out of its long-term downtrend channel. This breakout indicated a potential trend reversal.
In context, a breakout above a long-term downtrend indicated that the downtrend was weakening, as buyers gained strength.
This shift signaled that the market was transitioning from a period of lower lows and lower highs to higher lows and higher highs — the start of a new uptrend.
Thus, STX could surge toward the $3.78 target, post a 140% increase.

Additionally, STX’s liquidation for long positions has remained low over the past weeks and has not hit $500k since the market crash of the 5th of August.

Finally, STX’s Open Interest in USD per Exchange experienced a sustained uptrend over the past week, as it increased from a low of $14 million to $19.6 million at press time.
