Celestia’s native token, $TIA, has suffered one of the steepest declines among major Layer 1 projects, falling more than 90% from its all-time highs and leaving many holders questioning whether the worst is over.

From euphoria to despair

At its peak, TIA traded near $20, buoyed by hype around modular blockchain infrastructure and early adoption narratives. Since then, the token has been in a relentless downtrend, now changing hands around $1.07. The price action mirrors the classic “psychology of a market cycle” chart, with investors appearing to move from optimism and euphoria into capitulation and depression.

Analyst Ali highlighted this parallel, suggesting that TIA holders may now be enduring the harshest emotional stage of the cycle – marked by despair and disbelief.

Key support levels ahead

The prolonged decline has placed TIA close to psychological and structural support zones. If prices stabilize near the $1 level, analysts say it could serve as a base for accumulation. However, a decisive breakdown below this point risks further declines into uncharted territory.

Despite the sharp drop, some traders view such “depression phases” as potential opportunities for long-term positioning, assuming fundamentals improve. Celestia still plays a significant role in modular blockchain research, though adoption has lagged relative to early expectations.

Outlook

With sentiment crushed and liquidity thinning, the road back for TIA will depend on renewed ecosystem growth, fresh developer traction, and improved market conditions. For now, the token’s trajectory reflects the darker side of crypto’s boom-and-bust cycles – a reminder that even promising technologies are not immune to investor psychology.
