RSI 7-day hit 80.94 (overbought) before correction, with price up 102% in 7 days
Altcoin season index fell 20% weekly, reducing risk appetite for smaller caps
Deep Dive
1. Primary catalyst
The ProBit Global CARR/USDT trading competition concluded on 28 July 2025 at 08:30 UTC+0 (ProBit): - Participants competed for 8M CARR prizes, requiring active trading and PROB token staking - Post-event selloffs are common as winners liquidate rewards (up to 800K CARR for 1st place) - The 24h volume spike (+20.2% to $1.49M) aligns with competition-driven activity
2. Technical context
CARR entered correction territory after extreme overextension: - RSI 7-day at 80.94 (70+ = overbought) before the drop, cooling to neutral levels - Price rejected at $0.003 Fibonacci swing high (now 32% below that level) - 7-day SMA ($0.001796) acts as potential support, but breached intraday
3. Market dynamics
Altcoins faced headwinds despite stable BTC dominance (+60.62%): - Altcoin season index fell to 40 (from 50 last week), signaling capital rotation away from riskier assets - CARR’s 24h underperformance (-19.5% vs. total crypto market -1.81%) highlights its low liquidity and high volatility
Conclusion
CARR’s drop combines event-driven profit-taking with technical mean reversion, exacerbated by cooling altcoin sentiment. Traders might watch whether the $0.0017–$0.0018 SMA zone stabilizes prices as competition-related selling subsides.
Could renewed exchange incentives or broader altcoin strength reverse this correction?
