In a strategic move to consolidate its infrastructure, Render Network announced that proposal RNP-023 will go to a vote within the next 24 hours. This initiative seeks to integrate Salad’s decentralized GPU network as an exclusive Render subnetwork, promising to scale computing capacity for AI tasks and 3D rendering. As governance moves forward, the digital asset is attempting to shake off a long-term bearish trend, currently facing fundamental technical resistance at $1.988.
Proposal RNP-023: Real Scalability in the AI Era
The integration of Salad is no minor announcement. By adding thousands of distributed computing nodes, Render aims to optimize its network efficiency, ensuring that the demand for graphics processing—fueled by the explosion of Artificial Intelligence—meets a more robust and atomized supply.
The community will have the final say through the network’s governance system. According to the Render team, the voting process is imminent, which typically injects volatility into the underlying asset as investors weigh the impact of a more powerful network and increased token utility.
Technical Analysis: From Capitulation to the Transition Channel
Following a prolonged winter of 460 bearish trend bars, price found a solid floor in the $1.183 zone, where classic capitulation was observed. Currently, the asset is navigating a Tight Bull Channel of approximately 48 bars—a structure denoting a shift in sentiment, though it is beginning to show signs of institutional exhaustion.
Bar-by-Bar Reading (Price Action)
To understand our current position, we must break down the chart’s visual narrative:
Bars 1 to 3 (The Awakening): Bar 1 acted as a Reversal Bar following an extreme sell climax. Bar 2 surprised the market by breaking the 20-period EMA (Bull Surprise), although Bar 3 (an inside candle) cooled the momentum, leading price into a sideways consolidation range.
Bar 4 (The Support): A crucial Higher Low that defined the bullish trendline of the current channel.
Bar 5 (Change of Character): This is the definitive technical validation. A High 2 Buy setup with a wide-range candle that broke the primary bearish trendline (“the barbed wire”), triggering high-probability buy orders.
Bars 6 and 7 (Climax and Retest): Bar 6 marked a micro-climax upon touching the channel top, followed by Bar 7 (Bear Surprise) which functioned as a necessary throwback to flush out excess leverage.
Bar 8 (The Flip): We identify a perfect role reversal; previous resistance at $1.53 turned into support, validated by a strong Bull Signal Bar.
Bars 9 and 10 (The Double Top Threat): Here, the structure becomes complex. Bar 9 failed to clearly break above the high of Bar 6. Bar 10, a bearish engulfing candle in formation, confirms a Double Top Lower High. This suggests that bulls are losing momentum against the $1.988 resistance.
Outlook: Breakout or Deep Correction?
The market is in a transition phase from a “Strong Trend” to a “Broad Channel.” The overlapping of recent candles indicates that trading has become two-sided and less predictable.
Bullish Scenario: If price finds support at the 20 EMA (near $1.70) and manages to break $1.988 with volume, the technical Measured Move target projects up to $2.712.
Corrective Scenario: If Bar 10 closes near its lows, a retest of the $1.60 zone or even a return to the key $1.53 support is highly probable. A loss of the latter would invalidate the bullish structure of the last 48 bars.
The alliance with Salad positions Render Network as a titan of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN), but the chart warns of caution. The $1.988 zone is the frontier between a sustained recovery and a new period of sideways price action.
