Centralization fears intensify after rollback and security breach

In late December, Flow experienced a major security incident when an attacker exploited a vulnerability in its execution layer, resulting in the loss of approximately $3.9 million and prompting a network rollback to restore lost funds. This controversial action has raised concerns among ecosystem participants and partners regarding governance centralization and long-term trust in the network's decentralization. The Flow Foundation is now facing stakeholder calls for transparent remediation plans and governance reforms to address risks to ecosystem partners and bridge protocols affected by the rollback.

Bearish momentum dominates amid missing support and strong trend signals

On the technical front, FLOW faces dynamic resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $0.1590, while currently lacking significant support as indicated by this tool. Momentum indicators remain deeply bearish: both MACD and ADX confirm downward momentum, with a D1 ADX above 42 denoting a strong trend. Oversold signals are clear on the RSI (13.0), Stoch RSI (0.0), and CCI (-274.7), but Bull/Bear Power (BBP) and the Awesome Oscillator both confirm the prevailing sell bias and the dominance of sellers. FLOW closed near the low of today’s $0.0828 – $0.108 range, showing high intraday volatility and continued, heavy selling pressure without reversal signals.

Sideways pattern likely as upside remains limited by resistance

For the coming five trading days, the typical volatility band is expected between $0.082 and $0.108, matching current conditions and recent price action. The probability of a short-term price increase is low (less than 20%), with a likely scenario of FLOW moving sideways within this corridor. A bullish scenario would require a clear breakout above $0.108 with continued buying strength, whereas a renewed bearish move could see FLOW fall below $0.082 and increase downward momentum.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees pronounced selling pressure and bearish momentum dominating FLOW. He notes the recent security incident and controversial rollback have undermined trust and highlight fundamental governance risks for the network. Despite deeply oversold signals, Karapetjanc believes sentiment remains poor and recovery will require structural ecosystem reforms. In his view, any near-term rebound is unlikely without renewed confidence and a decisive price move above $0.108. "I remain constructive long term, but right now FLOW needs clear transparency and buying strength before a real recovery can begin."

Previously it was reported that Flow (FLOW) is trading well below its key moving averages and the Ichimoku Kijun, with decisive bearish momentum affirmed by deeply oversold RSI, negative MACD, and persistent selling pressure across all major technical indicators. Short-term prospects remain negative, as volatility confines the price to a lower band with resistance at $0.1367, and no technical signals currently support a meaningful rebound.
