Investor caution persists as news flow weighs on outlook

KuCoin Futures introduced WAL perpetual contracts on October 27, 2025, coinciding with the WAL token unlock. The launch generated increased market activity, while the token unlock contributed to strong downward pressure. No other significant corporate actions or macro events specific to WAL were reported on this date.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that WAL's latest price decline reflects persistent negative sentiment, with the token suffering from both its recent unlock event and lack of positive news or institutional backing. He sees the absence of supportive developments and the heightened selling pressure as limiting any near-term upside potential, especially as the asset remains well below major moving averages. Kharitonov concludes, "Given the ongoing downward bias and poor sentiment after the token unlock, it would be prudent for investors to remain cautious and wait for tangible demand or regulatory catalysts before considering new positions."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, points out that the WAL market is heavily influenced by both immediate technical pressure and broader macro uncertainties, especially following the surge in activity after the KuCoin listing. He observes that, in the absence of macroeconomic or corporate catalysts, sideways trading is likely near the current $0.236 level, with breakout scenarios depending on external market shifts. As Karapetjanc emphasizes, "The probability of a significant move is low unless we see a major shift in market conditions or external risk appetite — patience will be key for participants waiting for decisive signals."

Mixed momentum and conflicting oscillators as volatility spikes near session lows

This sustained price action under the moving averages signals continued short-, medium-, and long-term pressure from sellers. Immediate dynamic support and resistance are indicated by the Ichimoku Kijun level around $0.2407 and the MA-20 near $0.2534, respectively. Momentum is mixed, with the ADX on the daily chart showing a strong trend while MACD indicates substantial bearish pressure. Oscillators present further divergence: despite the daily RSI suggesting a modest buy setup, Stoch RSI is in overbought territory and CCI remains neutral. The BBP reflects a neutral stance for intraday power, although the Awesome Oscillator aligns with the prevailing downtrend. WAL recorded a sharp daily drop of 10.5%, with almost no gap between yesterday’s close and today’s open. The price now sits near today’s session lows, highlighting high intraday volatility and persistent selling pressure after the open. These intraday moves generally confirm broader negative momentum, though the conflicting signals between oscillators and trend strength suggest underlying indecision.

Last time we reported that Walrus experienced heightened market activity as KuCoin Futures launched a WAL perpetual contract, which influenced the exchange rate during a token unlock event. It was also noted that oscillators are divergent — RSI is just above 53, pointing to mixed short-term signals for the asset.
