Decred price was trading near $26.6, up about 5% over the past 24 hours and roughly 41% for the week. The session range has held between $26.02 and $27.09, with the price remaining firmly above prior resistance.
Spot volume registered around $9.32M, consistent with steady participation rather than a blow-off move. The advance is unfolding alongside a completed bullish reversal pattern and the activation of a long-telegraphed consensus change on Decred’s network.
Decred Implements New Treasury Expenditure Policy
Decred coin price strength coincides with the activation of the new maximum treasury expenditure policy at block 1,052,416. The change replaces the legacy spending cap with a model tied to treasury balance, introducing a 4% ceiling per policy window alongside a fixed expenditure floor.
For traders, the immediate relevance is binary. Nodes running outdated software risk being disconnected from the network, while upgraded participants eliminate a known event risk.
With the agenda approved and now active, uncertainty around treasury funding mechanics and governance execution has narrowed. That reduction in protocol risk has arrived as the DCR price is already trending higher, reinforcing bids rather than interrupting them.

Decred Price Remains Structurally Bullish After Trendline Break
Technical indicators suggest Decred’s price is no longer trading within a defined range. The inverse head-and-shoulders pattern that developed from December into January has already broken higher, with the $22.5–$23.0 neckline broken and confirmed on multiple 4-hour closes. Decred price is trading around $26.6, roughly 15% above the breakout level, with no immediate rejection.
While the near-term measured move from this structure points to the $30–31 area, based on the $7.5 distance between the head near $15.5 and the neckline, the broader framing comes from Javon Marks.
Marks has emphasized that Decred’s ability to hold above its long-standing resistance trend keeps a far higher target, near $224.52, technically valid. His view treats the current structure as an accumulation resolving into early expansion rather than a late-stage rally.
Momentum supports that interpretation. RSI(14) is holding near 67, keeping Decred price in a continuation pattern rather than an overbought condition. No bearish divergence has developed, and pullbacks have remained shallow since the price reclaimed $23.
Structurally, the trade remains binary and well-defined. A loss of $23 on a 4-hour close would warn of failed acceptance, while a breakdown below the $18.5–$19.0 right-shoulder zone would negate the reversal entirely. Until either occurs, Decred price continues to trade in line with a confirmed trend shift, not a speculative spike.
