A while back, Celsius Network announced that they have raised $400 million in funding. The protocol also noted this was led by Canada's second-largest pension fund, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), alongside an equity firm established by a former Airbnb executive known as WestCap.

Celsius plans on using the $400 million fund to continue expanding its product offerings. Chief among these is investing in institutional-grade products and doubling their employee numbers from the current 468 to almost 1000 to support this venture.

Celsius Network has been in a persistent bear market over the last 6-months. However, bears lost momentum in November, an indicator that CEL could be getting oversold. For a bullish reversal to be confirmed, Celsius needs to push through the $4.95 resistance and with high volumes.Source: TradingView

 If this fails, and October’s low of $3.65 is breached, the selloff could continue all the way into 2022. However, based on Celsius' strong fundamentals, this could be the bottom.
