Starknet's STRK token has lost nearly 10% of its value just a week after the ZK-Rollup platform initiated its first phase of staking. Currently trading at $0.38, STRK's price has dropped 16% in the past 24 hours, making it the third-largest loser behind Beam (BEAM) and Arweave (AR).
Positioned below a critical resistance level, a further spike in selling pressure could push STRK’s price to retest its all-time low of $0.31.
Readings from STRK’s one-day chart show that its price is currently hovering below the resistance formed by its Ichimoku Cloud at $0.43. When an asset’s price is below this cloud, it suggests that sellers have control, and attempts to push higher are met with resistance from within or just above the cloud.
Traders view the cloud as a significant barrier, and breaking through it to the upside is difficult without strong buying momentum.
Moreover, STRK’s declining Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) reflects the lack of buying pressure to push above this key resistance level. This indicator, which measures money flow into and out of the market, recently broke below the zero line. At -0.03 at press time, selling pressure outweighs buying activity among STRK traders.
A negative CMF value indicates more capital outflow than inflow, leading to a price decline.
If selling pressure intensifies and STRK bulls cannot push the price above the cloud, the downtrend will likely gain momentum. The coin's next target could be its all-time low of $0.31, last seen on August 5.
On the other hand, if a surge in buying activity occurs, STRK’s price may attempt to rally above the cloud, potentially reaching $2.25 — a high last recorded in March.
