<p>If the token can break past resistance around $185, the analyst believes it could reach as high as $215 based on historical price performance. However, he cautions that a sudden crash is always possible with such a volatile asset.</p> 
<p>While optimistic in the short term, the analyst warns viewers to exercise caution in trading Tellor due to its history of manipulation by large volume from <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/exchange/">centralized exchanges</a>. According to him, the recent price growth could easily be reversed by the actions of whales.</p>
