An even higher target was previously projected by analyst Ali Martinez, who noted in a January 16 post X that AI16Z was trading within a rising parallel channel that has formed since late December. He also pointed to $0.80 as a key support level.
AI16Z recently recovered from the $0.80 level on January 20, confirming strong support at this level. Martinez expects a potential rally towards $2.60, an increase of 113% from the current price, provided AI16Z continues to trade within the rising channel in the coming weeks.
Technical indicators also support the bullish forecasts. On the 1-day AI16Z/USDT chart, the price of AI16Z was above the 50-day exponential moving average, indicating that bulls remain in power.

According to the Relative Strength Index indicator, the price has not yet reached the overbought level. At the time of writing, the RSI stood at 49, with levels above 70 considered the overbought zone. This means that the altcoin’s rally could continue if the trend strength continues.
However, the Supertrend line hovering above the price points to a potential dip for AI16Z before the rally continues.
