LayerZero’s ZRO price has climbed more than 100% from its early-September levels to around $2.23 as traders assess its rising price channel, planned ATLAS buybacks, and an Oct. 20 token unlock.

Summary

• ZRO price trades near $2.23, roughly 125% above its early-September price of $0.99.
• Daily resistance stands at $2.34, followed by $2.54, $2.73 and $2.93.
• The 4-hour RSI reaches 69.10 as ZRO holds above its $1.94 Supertrend support.
• About 23.63 million ZRO are scheduled to unlock on Oct. 20.

TradingView’s Binance ZRO/USDT charts show LayerZero trading around $2.23 on Oct. 6, after reaching a daily high near $2.30. Compared with the roughly $0.99 level seen earlier in September, the token has gained about 125%.

The advance has included several pullbacks. ZRO broke above $1.40 in late September, moved through $1.60 and later recovered from the $1.72–$1.74 area to regain $2. The latest move places the token near price levels last seen during the first quarter.

At $2.23, ZRO would need another gain of roughly 35% to reach $3. Its daily chart places several resistance levels below that target, while the 4-hour chart shows the recovery continuing within an ascending channel.

ATLAS buybacks and bank stablecoins support the ZRO narrative

LayerZero announced ATLAS in August as trading infrastructure built on its Zero blockchain. The system combines order matching, clearing, settlement, and risk management for trading venues.

Under the announced model, venues receive rebates of 20%–65%, depending on their trading volume and ZRO staking. Of the fees remaining after those rebates, 25% goes to market creators, and 75% goes toward buying and burning ZRO.

LayerZero also assigns ZRO a role as Zero’s gas and staking asset. Trading venues can stake the token to qualify for higher rebates, linking its planned use to both network operations and exchange activity.

Existing buybacks come through a separate revenue stream. In its June token update, LayerZero said 100% of Stargate revenue had funded ZRO purchases since April 2026. LayerZero Labs also disclosed a $10 million open-market purchase in November 2025, with future purchases dependent on its profitability.

The September institutional announcement came from Anchorage Digital, which selected LayerZero to connect stablecoins issued through Anchorage Digital Bank across blockchains. Anchorage identified Tether’s USAT as the first bank-issued stablecoin to launch with the integration.

The partnership connects LayerZero to a federally chartered U.S. crypto bank’s stablecoin issuance business. Anchorage said the integration would use LayerZero’s token standard to move assets across networks, including Ethereum and Solana.

ZRO price faces $2.34 before a move toward $3

On the daily TradingView chart, ZRO trades above the Murrey Math level at $2.148. The next marked resistance is $2.344, about 5% above the chart’s $2.227 price.

A sustained move through $2.344 would put the next chart levels at $2.539 and $2.734 in focus. Above those sits $2.930, leaving another resistance test just below the $3 target.

The daily Chaikin Money Flow reads 0.10, above the zero line. That positive reading accompanies the price recovery and points to buying pressure under the indicator’s volume-weighted calculation.

The nearest marked downside level is $2.148. Below it, the daily chart places a pivot at $1.953, followed by $1.758 and $1.563. A retreat through $1.953 would return ZRO below $2 and interrupt its latest advance.

The 4-hour TradingView chart shows a sequence of higher highs and higher lows inside an ascending channel. Its Supertrend remains green at $1.943, close to the daily $1.953 pivot, making the $1.94–$1.95 area a shared technical reference across both timeframes.

The 4-hour relative strength index stands at 69.10, above its average of 62.43 and close to the conventional overbought threshold of 70. Momentum remains strong, although the reading leaves the rally near a level where short-term consolidation becomes a relevant scenario.

Liquidation bands sit below price as the unlock approaches

CoinGlass’s 48-hour liquidation heatmap shows ZRO rising from below $2 toward $2.30 before pulling back toward $2.22. Visible liquidation bands above the latest price sit around $2.28–$2.32.

Below price, bands cluster near $2.17–$2.19 and $2.10–$2.12. A particularly bright band sits around $1.98, with additional concentrations near $1.88–$1.90. Those levels mark areas where leveraged positions could face liquidation if price reaches them.

The October supply calendar adds another event. DefiLlama lists an Oct. 20 release of approximately 23.63 million ZRO: 10.63 million for core contributors and 13 million for strategic partners. The tracker puts the release at about 5.93% of circulating supply.

Analysts favor the breakout, but $3 requires further gains

In an Oct. 5 post, market commentator Pentoshi linked his bullish outlook to the weekly chart and ATLAS’s planned fee allocation. He described ZRO as having substantial upside potential, without giving a firm October price target.

Technical analyst Captain Faibik’s 3-day chart shows a breakout above a long descending channel. His accompanying post reported a 55% advance since that breakout, supporting his bullish assessment of the longer-term setup.

For an October move above $3, the daily chart’s bullish scenario requires ZRO to clear $2.344, $2.539, $2.734, and $2.930 while maintaining its rising 4-hour structure. A loss of the $1.94–$1.95 support area would weaken that scenario and bring $1.758 back into focus ahead of the scheduled unlock.
