What’s Next for JTO?

At the time of writing, JTO is trading at $3.21 and appears to be consolidating within an asymmetrical triangle pattern. Following today’s listing announcement, the price surged to test the upper resistance trendline of the triangle while trading within a key horizontal resistance zone marked in red.

However, JTO faced rejection from the resistance, pulling back from a high of $3.54 without managing to break out. This suggests that while bullish momentum is present, the token still lacks the strength for a decisive breakout at this stage.

The pattern indicates that there is still room for JTO to consolidate within the triangle before making another breakout attempt. Traders should closely monitor price action near the resistance level and watch for increased volume or a retest of lower support before a potential upward move.
