MKR Price Dip Despite Whale Activity & High Holder Profitability
MKR Price Contradiction: Dip Despite Positive Indicators
The Maker [MKR] cryptocurrency experienced a 5% price drop and a 34% volume decrease, despite positive market signals. This counterintuitive movement warrants closer examination. While the recent rebranding to SKY and the introduction of staking have attracted considerable attention, including significant whale activity, the price action remains puzzling.
Whale Activity on Binance
- On June 5th, two new wallets transferred 1,502 MKR (approximately $2.67 million) to Binance.
- Both wallets subsequently staked their entire holdings, indicating strong confidence in Maker's future prospects.
This large-scale transfer from fresh wallets suggests a strategic investment move, aiming to participate in MakerDAO governance or capitalize on anticipated price appreciation. The locking up of these funds reduces the circulating supply, potentially creating scarcity and upward price pressure.
Bullish Breakout & Price Targets
MKR recently broke out of a prolonged downtrend established in early 2024, exceeding the downward trendline and reaching $1,783. This bullish breakout suggests further price increases are likely, with potential targets of $2,435, $3,500, and potentially $4,000.
However, a drop below the $1,500 support level would invalidate this bullish outlook and necessitate a retest of the previous downtrend line. The weekly candlestick pattern displays strengthening buyer momentum, bolstering the bullish reversal scenario.
Holder Profitability & Market Sentiment
According to IntoTheBlock, 59.96% of MKR addresses are currently in the money, while 23.53% are out of the money. Key support levels lie between $1,064.60 and $1,671.80, with resistance stretching from $1,774.27 to $5,645.01.
The current price hovering near $1,751.93 sits at a break-even point for many investors. A sustained price increase above this level is required to trigger further accumulation.
CryptoQuant’s Spot Taker CVD shows recent market neutrality, mirroring trends observed in spring 2021 and late 2023. Following neutral periods, either consolidation or upward rallies occur, making a continued price rise plausible if buying pressure intensifies.
