Bears to the Rescue? Seeker’s Fate Hangs by a Thread

by

Ah, the fickle dance of the markets! Seeker, once a gleaming star in the Solana sky, has tumbled from its lofty perch near $0.067 to a humble $0.024. A 70% plunge, you say? How quaint! The early euphoria has evaporated like a cheap vodka shot at a proletariat’s party. Yet, the token clings to life, though its buyers seem to have wandered off to more exciting corners of the crypto bazaar.

The question now is not whether Seeker will soar again, but whether it will survive another brutal kick from the bears. Oh, the irony! The bulls, once its champions, have abandoned it. Now, its fate rests in the paws of the very creatures that seek its downfall.

The Winds of Selling: A Tale of Woe and Momentum

Behold, the first omen of doom: the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), a fickle gauge of capital’s whims, has languished below zero since January 24. Money, it seems, is fleeing Seeker like a rat from a sinking ship. A brief flirtation with recovery on January 26? A mere illusion! The CMF continues its descent, a grim harbinger of buyers’ apathy. Should it breach the ascending trendline, Seeker’s price may well join the rats in their aquatic exodus.

And what of momentum? On the 1-hour chart, Seeker’s price eked out a higher high, but the RSI-that fickle mistress of momentum-printed a lower high. Ah, the classic bearish divergence! The buyers’ fervor wanes, and recent bounces fizzle like a damp firecracker. Together, the CMF and RSI paint a picture of a downtrend that refuses to die.

Spot Demand? A Ghost Story

On-chain data, that cold-hearted teller of truths, confirms the bleak outlook. Exchange balances have swelled by 5.31% in the past 24 hours, with 23.6 million SKR tokens marching onto exchanges. Selling intent, you say? How astute! Meanwhile, smart-money holdings have shriveled by 4%, a testament to the absence of dip-buying zeal.

In simpler terms, the buyers have gone on holiday, leaving Seeker to fend for itself at these perilous levels. Normally, bulls would rally to defend their turf after a 70% correction. But where are they now? Perhaps they’ve found a more lucrative circus to perform in.

Bears: The Unlikely Heroes?

And so, we arrive at the crux of the farce. With spot buyers AWOL, the only force capable of halting Seeker’s descent is the very leverage that seeks to destroy it. A liquidation map reveals where the leveraged traders’ positions would crumble. Liquidations, those violent spasms of the market, can jolt prices without a shred of genuine demand. Leverage, after all, is the double-edged sword of the crypto gladiator.

On Bitget’s 30-day SKR/USDT perpetual market, bearish leverage outstrips bullish leverage by a margin of $3.06 million to $1.49 million. The bears, it seems, are in control. Should the SKR price rebound toward $0.030, $1.2 million in short positions would face liquidation. A short squeeze, you say? How delightful! Bears, forced to buy back SKR, might push the price higher-but let us not mistake this for bullish conviction. It is but a desperate gasp, a temporary reprieve.

If the bears escape their trap, Seeker risks a plunge through $0.019, triggering a 17% breakdown. If they are ensnared, their liquidations may offer a fleeting lifeline. Thus, Seeker’s fate hangs not on the bulls’ horns, but on the bears’ claws. What a twisted tale of crypto survival!
