Highlights

Revenue from fees is used in a token buyback program to reduce circulating supply, resulting in increased activity within the Movement network.

Ecosystem shift and buybacks drive network activity expansion

Movement has migrated from an Ethereum Layer 2 project to its own Layer 1 blockchain, signaling a major shift in its ecosystem architecture. The project has partnered with more than 10 decentralized finance applications and initiated revenue-generating fee structures, channeling these earnings into a token buyback program to reduce circulating supply. These advancements have contributed to increased activity within the Movement network.

Persistent selling confirmed as momentum signals align near oversold

Momentum indicators reinforce a bearish outlook: MACD shows a strong sell signal and ADX indicates a trend is in place, but it is not a bullish one. Both daily and weekly RSI values are near or below 35, placing MOVE in oversold territory and also highlighted by CCI and Stoch RSI across most timeframes. Intraday sellers dominate, as confirmed by negative BBP and supportive pressure from Awesome Oscillator. The price opened almost flat versus the previous close, then dropped sharply—down 7.45%—with the latest quote near today’s low, pointing to high volatility and pronounced selling pressure immediately after the open. There is no divergence between daily momentum and oscillator signals; both point to persistent weakness.

High downside risk persists with range-bound baseline scenario

Looking ahead, the expected range for the next week is $0.0290 to $0.0383, after adjusting the forecast to remain within 20% of the current price. The likelihood of a further price decline is very high (more than 80%), while any significant rebound is much less likely. The baseline scenario is sideways movement within this volatility band. A bullish scenario could emerge if MOVE surges above resistance at $0.0383, but at present, selling remains dominant. The bearish scenario implies a break below $0.0290 support, opening the way for further declines if hefty selling persists.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, leading analyst at Traders Union, sees sustained downside momentum in MOVE, but also notes fundamental progress as the project advances its ecosystem and strengthens network adoption. He believes the transition to a Layer 1 blockchain and active partnerships are laying groundwork for future recovery, despite the current bearish trend. The analyst highlights that macro and sentiment factors may shift quickly if the token price manages to surpass short-term resistance. In the near term, high volatility and oversold conditions suggest tactical opportunities for patient bulls. "If MOVE can stabilize above $0.0383 on rising network activity, a reversal is within reach," Karapetjanc concludes.

Last time, analysts noted that MOVE remains under broad bearish pressure, trading below key moving averages with momentum indicators such as the MACD and RSI signaling continued weakness. Support is challenged near recent lows, while resistance is defined at $0.0410; upside momentum is limited unless a strong breakout occurs, with downside risks dominating the near-term outlook.
