Jupiter slides 11.44% today to $0.3375

Highlights

Roughly one third of Jupiter tokens remain staked and off the market, constraining circulating supply and liquidity.
The buyback program has acquired $44 million in tokens since February 17, 2025, including $5.59 million in the third quarter of 2026.
JUP/USD maintains bullish momentum above key supports, with the next five-day range expected at $0.2997 to $0.386 and over 80% probability of an upward move.

Staked supply and buybacks limit float but fail to stem selling

Approximately one third of Jupiter tokens are currently staked, making them unavailable for trading and affecting liquidity. Since February 17, 2025, a buyback program funded by product revenues has repurchased around $44 million in tokens, with $5.59 million spent in the third quarter of 2026. These developments have influenced JUP's effective circulating supply, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, identifies a critical disconnect between technical strength and recent price weakness. He notes buybacks and the high staking rate have not prevented heavy selling, suggesting investor confidence is fragile. Despite indicators aligning bullish, volatility and an overbought setup point to possible downside risk. He highlights the potential for a sharp correction if support at $0.3368 fails. "I see unresolved selling pressure overshadowing positive signals — a breakdown below the current support could trigger deeper losses."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the staked supply and ongoing buybacks as a sign of long-term commitment from core holders. He believes that with over a third of tokens locked and regular repurchases, the bullish structure remains intact. The constructive momentum from key moving averages supports scope for further growth. "A decisive move above $0.3522 will likely attract new buyers — I expect the market to offer multiple bullish setups in the coming days."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes JUP trading in a well-defined volatility band with bullish momentum but warns of heightened short-term risk. He points to a divergence between price action and overbought technicals, suggesting a contrarian short-term pullback could emerge. "A tactical approach is warranted here — I would watch for a potential breakout above $0.3522, but a quick dip to $0.2997 cannot be ruled out."

Strong bullish momentum sustains above support as volatility rises

JUP/USD trades above the 20-day ($0.3368), 50-day ($0.2762), and 200-day ($0.2117) moving averages, indicating strong bullish momentum across all major time frames. A bullish alignment remains between the 50-day and 200-day averages. The immediate support level is at $0.3368, while resistance is at $0.3522. Momentum indicators, including MACD and ADX, issue buy signals. RSI at 62.6318 stays constructive, while Stochastic RSI and CCI readings suggest overbought conditions, increasing appreciation risk. Bull/Bear Power is positive at 0.0401 and the Awesome Oscillator also signals active buying. The pair is currently down $0.0436 with continued intraday volatility at 5.31%, and a downside gap continues to pressure the near-term tone.

Earlier, analysts noted that Jupiter's tightening supply and deepening ecosystem activity were being overshadowed by lingering downside risks and range-bound trading conditions. The current analysis adds a new dimension by highlighting a shift toward broad-based bullish momentum, with strong buy signals across multiple indicators and a pivotal focus on the $0.3522 resistance as the next key level to watch for continued upside.
