Deep Dive
1. Technical Rebound (Mixed Impact)
Overview:
SC’s RSI14 (39.79) remains near oversold levels, while the MACD histogram flipped positive (+0.00000705) for the first time since mid-September, signaling weakening bearish momentum. The price also reclaimed the 7-day SMA ($0.00266), a minor resistance-turned-support level.
What this means:
Traders may be capitalizing on oversold conditions, especially with SC down 18% over 90 days. However, the 200-day SMA ($0.00316) looms 19% above current prices, acting as a major resistance barrier.
What to look out for:
A sustained break above $0.0028 (30-day SMA) could signal further recovery, while failure to hold $0.0026 may renew selling pressure.
2. Post-Delisting Volatility (Bearish Catalyst Fading)
Overview:
OKX SG delisted SC on Sep 29, citing compliance concerns. While this initially pressured liquidity, SC’s 24h volume has stabilized at $6.9M (+7.6% vs. prior day).
What this means:
The delisting’s immediate sell-off appears exhausted, with remaining holders likely favoring accumulation at lower prices. However, reduced exchange support risks longer-term liquidity fragmentation.
3. Hardfork Upgrades (Neutral/Bullish Long-Term)
Overview:
July’s V2 hardfork Phase 2 introduced Utreexo (light node syncing) and Ledger support (CoinGabbar, Aug 1), aiming to improve Sia’s decentralized storage usability.
What this means:
While adoption metrics (storage contracts, active hosts) aren’t provided, the upgrades address key scalability hurdles. Sustained developer activity (15+ GitHub commits/month) supports the project’s fundamentals despite price weakness.
Conclusion
SC’s bounce reflects technical factors and resilience after exchange-driven turbulence, though macro headwinds (down 44% YoY) and low turnover (4.6%) limit upside conviction. Key watch: Can SC hold $0.0026 support ahead of Oct 13’s monthly options expiry, where $0.003+ strikes dominate open interest?
