Climbs Over 60% On Back Of Bitcoin Ascent Several factors appear to
be fueling Stacks’ ascent. Firstly, its unique ability to bring

seeking advanced applications on the world’s oldest blockchain.

Coingecko Stacks bridges this gap by anchoring itself to Bitcoin
while offering smart contract features. This innovative approach
has garnered significant attention, particularly as Bitcoin itself
enjoys a recent price appreciation, reaching more than $52,000 at
the time of writing. The correlation between Stacks and Bitcoin is
undeniable. Both assets saw pronounced recoveries in February’s
second week, with STX mirroring Bitcoin’s climb from $38,500 to
$50,000. This intertwined fate highlights the influence of
Bitcoin’s broader sentiment on Stacks’ price action. STXUSDT

On Soaring TVL Beyond price movements, another bullish indicator
emerges from Stacks’ DeFi ecosystem. According to DefiLlama, the
total value locked (TVL) within Stacks’ DeFi protocols has surged
over 50% in the last three weeks, reaching $70.21 million. This
growth signifies rising investor confidence and active capital
commitment within the Stacks DeFi landscape. Technical analysis
further amplifies the optimistic outlook. Analysts predict a
potential continuation of the rally, with price targets ranging
from $2.475 to $2.82. This bullish forecast hinges on STX breaching
the recent swing high resistance of $2.06, a decisive technical
milestone achieved earlier this week. Stacks Total Value Locked.

volatility of the cryptocurrency market. Recent US inflation data
