The price of the altcoin Chiliz (CHZ) continued its upward trend, which has been strengthening since the first weeks of 2026, and increased by 8 percent today, indicating a significant break in the market perception after months of horizontal trend. The revival of interest in fan token-themed assets in the cryptocurrency markets reveals a pricing based on permanent purchasing appetite rather than speculative jumps on the CHZ coin side. With the impact of upcoming major events in the global sports calendar, the narrative of digital fan interaction was brought to the agenda again, allowing Chiliz’s price to hold on above previous resistance levels.
Fan Token Narrative is Back
The relationship between the fan token market and major sports organizations is based on a periodic cycle of interest rather than a direct link. In the run-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, clubs’ tendency to increase digital fan interaction has made fan token projects, which have been traded in low volumes for a long time, visible again. Chiliz network, which plays an infrastructure role in this picture, was among the first projects to benefit from the sectoral mobilization.
Seeing similar signs of technical recovery not only in Chiliz but also in other sports-oriented cryptocurrencies shows that the price movement is based on a sector-wide momentum rather than a singular development. However, it is emphasized that the market narrative alone is not sufficient and the technical structure must also support the rise.
On the chart side, the higher lows and higher highs formed in recent weeks indicate that buyers have gradually entered the market. This structure draws attention as it indicates a more stable demand base rather than short-term buy-sell movements.
Technical Outlook and $0.10 Scenario for Chiliz’s Price
The rise in Chiliz’s price, approaching 40 percent throughout the week, is considered by market players as a continuation formation. Accelerated purchases, especially after the trend break at $0.040, carried the price above $0.050, which is the multi-month resistance area. While this level has not been exceeded many times in the past, it has become a support position in the current chart.
While the price of CHZ was traded at $0.05764 at the time the news was prepared, its market value increased to approximately $588.5 million. Technical indicators indicate that if there is persistence above the $0.060 band, $0.080 and then $0.100 levels may come to the fore. Analysts state that it is critical that the rise be supported by volume.
In case of a possible loss of momentum, the price is expected to find balance in the range of $ 0.050-0.060. The fact that selling pressure remains limited and the accumulation process continues reveals that Chiliz maintains its potential to outperform the market at the beginning of the year.
