TAO Could Retest Support After Its Failed Breakout

Analyst CryptoTXG noted that TAO failed to break above the $214 resistance and faced a strong rejection. The token moved lower following the failed breakout. However, the pullback stopped before reaching the $167.43 support level.

The analyst believes that the $167.43 support will be tested. TAO must regain strength and reclaim $214 to reduce the risk of more losses. In case the token fails to do so, then the scenario of pullback becomes more probable.
