LINEA token drops from $1.4B to $50M market cap as early user reports 15x portfolio loss after three years of ecosystem activity.

According to CryptoCoinCoach, LINEA has been consolidating after a prolonged downtrend, forming a compression structure with higher lows while testing horizontal resistance near 0.0033–0.0034. This setup indicates growing bullish momentum, as buyers push the price toward a potential breakout. A successful breakout above the resistance zone could target the next supply level around 0.00426, while failure to hold above the ascending support near 0.00286 may lead to a revisit of lower support levels and a continuation of the downtrend.
