The ONDO price has surged by over 5.61% in the past 24 hours, even amidst the bloodbath in the global cryptocurrency market. This rise followed reports of significant acquisitions by whale investors, including a major company that appears to be capitalizing on the price drops.
The global crypto market experienced a sharp decline, with market capitalization decreasing by more than 2.69%, and Bitcoin fell below $97,000. Other top altcoins, such as Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Shiba Inu (SHIB), are also suffering losses ranging from 4% to 12%.
Earlier today, Ondo Finance’s price also declined before recently rebounding as bulls took control. It started the trading day at approximately $1.53, dropped to a low of $1.38, reached a 24-hour high of $1.68, and has now stabilized around $1.60 at the time of this writing.

ONDO price eyes a new all-time high
The price of ONDO is currently 16.33% lower than its all-time high price of $1.93, which it reached on December 4. Ondo Finance currently has a strong chance of rising prices.
With the coin trading at $1.62 and a slight daily increase, most indicators suggest that ONDO may continue to increase.
The Bull Bear Power indicator on TradingView suggests a “Buy,” meaning buyers have taken control of the market. The RSI stands at 65.13, indicating that ONDO is getting close to overbought territory but still has room to grow before facing major resistance.
In the short term, the ONDO price will likely test resistance at $1.75 before reaching its previous high of $1.93. Given the current trends and market mood, breaking through $1.93 seems possible, especially if trading volumes rise. Important resistance points to watch are $1.80 and $1.93, with solid support at $1.50, which aligns with the 20-period Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA).
If ONDO goes past its high of $1.93, the next price target could be around $2.20 to $2.30, a potential increase of about 15% to 20% from its previous high.
A breakout beyond $2.30 could also lead to new highs, depending on the overall market conditions, ecosystem updates, and ongoing buyer interest.
