Token supply expansion and incentive review as ecosystem adapts

On June 19, 2025, following a community governance vote, Sonic minted 190,500,000 S tokens to bolster its ecosystem’s growth and distribution. Approximately 92,200,000 S tokens designated for incentives remain in the Sonic Labs treasury. The team is currently re-evaluating its incentive programs in response to changing industry conditions.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights the persistent bearish outlook for Sonic. He notes that price action consistently fails to reclaim major moving averages, reinforcing technical weakness across all timeframes. Kharitonov critiques the decision to mint new S tokens, arguing this expansion risks diluting long-term value if not paired with clear incentive reforms. Momentum and oscillator readings confirm deep oversold conditions, but the lack of definitive support levels raises concern about further downside. "Unless structural improvements materialize soon, I see limited prospects for a sustainable rebound in S," he warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees opportunity in Sonic’s recent treasury activity and community-driven approach. He emphasizes that the token minting supports long-term ecosystem growth and strategic flexibility. The analyst believes the team’s willingness to reassess incentive programs creates multiple setups for renewed adoption and engagement. Karapetjanc projects that, despite current volatility, the bullish structure remains intact with room for future upside. "With proactive governance and new incentive alignment, I expect further growth potential for S holders," he says.

Bearish momentum prevails with oversold signals and weak support

The price remains capped below key moving averages (MA-20 at $0.0868, MA-50 at $0.1085, MA-200 at $0.2448), indicating persistent bearish trends in the short, medium, and long term. Resistance aligns with the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.0915, while there is little immediate support below current levels from moving averages. Daily momentum is weak, with the MACD and ADX favoring sellers and multiple oscillators (RSI at 26.04, Stoch RSI, and CCI) highlighting deep oversold conditions. While BBP leans slightly negative and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral, short-term signals show mixed readings and notable divergence.

Last time, analysts noted that Sonic (S) was exhibiting sustained bearish momentum, trading consistently below key moving averages as technical indicators such as MACD and RSI signaled oversold conditions. The asset was expected to remain rangebound within a narrow volatility band, with downside risk prevailing barring a move above resistance as analysts noted that Sonic (S) continued to face selling pressure.
