DYDX falls 12%, but THIS demand zone could spark a rebound

One demand zone now holds the key to DYDX's next move.

dYdX [DYDX] remained under pressure as losses deepened, with the token falling 12% over the past 24 hours. The decline aligned with broader weakness across the altcoin market.

However, the Altcoin Season Index continued climbing and reached 44. If sentiment improves further, DYDX could be among the tokens that benefit from renewed market interest.

From a market structure perspective, DYDX has returned to a key demand zone that may determine its next move.

Can DYDX bounce from this level?

The daily chart showed DYDX retracing into a demand Fair Value Gap (FVG), an area where buyers may step back in.

A rebound from this zone could push the token toward the $0.28 region, which marked the next notable resistance area on the chart. Volume data also hinted at weakening selling pressure.

At press time, trading volume had declined to roughly $10 million over the past day. Falling volume alongside falling prices often suggests that sellers are losing momentum.

That setup left traders watching whether buyers would defend the current demand zone.

Are buyers starting to return?

The Bull Bear Power Indicator suggested that buying pressure may be gradually improving. Despite the recent decline, the indicator formed a green histogram bar, indicating that buyers were beginning to re-enter the market.

Additional support came from the Aroon Indicator, which measures trend strength and direction. At press time, the Aroon Up line stood at 92.86%, while the Aroon Down line remained at 0.00%.

This reading suggested that the broader upward trend remained intact despite the recent pullback.

Even so, traders would likely need stronger buying activity before a sustained recovery could develop.

What are derivatives traders doing?

Activity in the perpetual futures market offered additional insight into market sentiment.

According to CoinGlass, Open Interest declined 11% to approximately $38 million, showing that leveraged exposure had fallen.

However, trading volume increased during the same period, indicating that market participation remained active.

Further data showed that long traders continued to dominate open positions. The OI-Weighted Funding Rate stood at 0.0073%, suggesting traders were still paying to maintain long exposure.

That alignment indicated that bullish sentiment remained present despite the recent correction.

If buyers defend the current demand zone, DYDX could attempt a recovery toward higher resistance levels in the sessions ahead.


Final Summary

  • DYDX retraced into a demand Fair Value Gap, a zone often watched for potential reversals.
  • Trading volume fell alongside price, suggesting selling pressure may be losing strength.
