The token may consolidate near current levels or pull back toward the $21,000-$22,000 band before testing resistance near $25,000. On the 4-hour chart, YFI has posted two red candles since breaking above a rising channel. The token trades above both its 20-day exponential moving average and 50-day simple moving average, which would offer support if sellers drive prices back toward the channel's upper boundary.
Daily support sits at the 20-day EMA ($16,635) and the 20-day SMA ($14,665). The daily RSI flashes a bearish signal, but buyers should maintain dominance as long as price remains above the trendline. YFI climbed from $7,500 two weeks ago to where it trades now, though the token remains well below its $44,000 all-time peak. If fundamentals hold and the broader DeFi sector maintains its bid, the next resistance zone spans $30,000 to $32,000.
Total value locked across DeFi protocols hit $13.4 billion, with YFI accounting for $414. Investors added 11% more capital to YFI over the past 24 hours. Yearn.finance remains smaller than SushiSwap, Aave, Uniswap, Compound, WBTC, and Maker, each holding more than $1 billion in TVL.
