Heavy spot market flows drive liquidity amid elevated volatility

Recent data from MarketBeat shows that THORChain recorded a 1-day trading volume of $6.09 million, indicating a period of increased activity as participants adjusted positions. Elevated volume typically reflects higher liquidity and may coincide with amplified volatility when coupled with intensified selling. This environment contributed to rapid repricing, with overall sentiment influenced by heavy flows in the spot market.

Sell signals persist as intraday momentum favors sellers

On the hourly chart, RUNE/USD is below the MA-20 at $0.3450 and MA-50 at $0.3650, with longer-term pressure from the MA-200 above at $0.5044. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at $0.3480 as immediate overhead resistance. Momentum indicators, including the MACD and ADX, are both generating sell signals, while RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI highlight oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power signals seller dominance on intraday momentum, and the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral.

Sustained downside risk as recovery scenarios remain limited

Over the next 2–3 trading days, RUNE/USD is expected to trade within a volatility band of $0.3060 to $0.3440. The likelihood of recovery is minimal, with downside risk remaining high and stabilization within this range as the baseline scenario. A break above $0.3480 would open a bullish scenario, while further declines below $0.3060 would signal a deeper move lower.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes THORChain’s decline is driven mainly by persistent market selling, as seen in both the price action and recent trading volume surge. He sees little sign of recovery yet, with the technical setup reflecting continued downside risk and ongoing market caution. High activity in the spot market suggests investors are repositioning, likely waiting for stabilization before new inflows emerge. Key resistance levels will need to be reclaimed for sentiment to change. "If RUNE can push above $0.3480, I expect buyers to return, but until then, caution remains the best approach."

Earlier, analysts noted that THORChain was experiencing persistent bearish momentum amid heightened volatility. With current indicators reinforcing ongoing downside pressure and little evidence of recovery, close attention should be paid to any break below the $0.3060 level as it could signal an acceleration of further losses.
