Deep Dive
1. Technical Rejection at Key Levels (Bearish Impact)
Overview: MX faced rejection at the $2.32 resistance (50% Fibonacci level + 30-day SMA) on October 5, triggering a pullback. The MACD histogram turned negative (-0.0031), confirming bearish momentum.
What this means: Technical traders likely liquidated positions after the failed breakout. The 7-day RSI (42.9) shows no oversold relief, leaving room for further downside.
What to watch: A close below the 7-day SMA ($2.20) could accelerate selling toward $2.15 support.
2. Post-Burn Demand Vacuum (Mixed Impact)
Overview: MEXC burned 2.39M MX (~2.57% of supply) on July 15 under its MX 2.0 deflationary model (MEXC). However, 24h volume remains 36% lower than burn-period levels.
What this means: The engineered supply shock initially lifted prices, but sustainable gains require organic demand – absent amid competition from high-beta alts. MX’s 90-day ROI (+7.3%) lags behind BNB (+15.4%) and OKB (+12.1%).
Overview: MEXC reduced leverage for SKLUSDT and NEIROETHUSDT futures on Sep 25-28, 2025, capping speculative activity. Simultaneously, zero-fee promotions ended for EIGEN/BUSDT futures, potentially diverting trader attention.
What this means: Lower leverage limits and fee changes likely reduced MX’s utility as a platform token for futures trading discounts.
Conclusion
MX’s dip reflects technical exhaustion post-resistance rejection and fading post-burn momentum, compounded by platform policy shifts. While the token burn structurally supports scarcity, MX needs renewed exchange growth metrics (user influx, volume) to reverse the trend.
Key watch: Q3 2025 MX burn data (expected late October) – a larger burn % could reignite bullish narratives.
