Current situation (August 5, 2025):
- Price: ~2.50–2.80 USD (based on data from CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, @cexscan).
- Context: BERA is the native token of Berachain, an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain with a Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism, launched in February 2025. The platform uses three tokens: BERA (gas and staking), BGT (governance, non-transferable), HONEY (stablecoin). Berachain supports DeFi (BEX, BEND, BERP), RWA tokenization, and cross-chain interactions via LayerZero. Market Capitalization: ~300–330 million USD (rank ~180–292). Trading Volume: ~16–44 million USD/24h. Circulating Supply: ~120 million BERA, total: 500 million. The price has fallen by ~80–87% from ATH (13–15.20 USD, February 2025), but has risen by ~2.33–3.3% in 24 hours (@CoinGecko, @berachain). TVL: ~3.3 billion USD thanks to Boyco Vault. Positive sentiment on X is linked to PoL V2 (180% APR) and airdrops (@SmokeyTheBera, @berachain), but there are concerns about unlocks (@0x6851).
Technical forecast for 2026 (based on analytics):
- Prices:
- Optimistic: 9.32–40.26 USD (growth of 270–1400%) in a bull market, with growth in DeFi and PoL.
- Neutral: 4.12–18.04 USD (growth of 65–650%).
- Pessimistic: 1.32–3.82 USD during corrections or unlocks.
- Levels:
- Support: 2.20–2.37 USD, 1.32–1.99 USD.
- Resistance: 3.43–4.07 USD, 7.18–9.29 USD.
- Trend: Mixed. The daily chart is bullish (RSI ~50–60, 50 MA above 200 MA, upward channel), but the weekly RSI ~78 and a decline of 20.8% over 7 days signal overbought conditions and correction (@CoinGecko). A breakout at 4.07 USD could lift the price to 7.18–9.29 USD, while a fall below 2.37 USD could drop it to 1.32 USD. CoinCodex predicts 3.82–18.04 USD, TheNewsCrypto – up to 40 USD, WalletInvestor – 0.56–56.60 USD by 2026.

Recommendation:
- Investors: Buy on corrections to 2.20–2.37 USD, stop loss below 1.32 USD. Target: 7.18–18.00 USD. Staking PoL V2 (APR ~180%) for income.
- Traders: Buy on breakout at 4.07 USD, target 7.18–9.29 USD. Sell below 2.37 USD, target 1.32–1.99 USD.
- Risk: 0.5–1% of deposit due to high volatility, unlocks, and regulatory risks.
