SPX drops 10% in 24 hours amid liquidity squeeze – Can bulls bounce back?
SPX bulls attempt to take over from bears.
- SPX’s decline remains at a critical point as it trades into a possible demand zone.
- Liquidity flow and trading volume have hit a new low, fueling increased selling pressure from the bears.
SPX6900 [SPX] recorded a major loss in the past 24 hours, dropping 10.27% as trading volume fell 31% to $59 million, causing its price to decline to $1.14.
The selling pressure appears far from over, as bears in the market continue to offload. However, the demand level now serves as the bulls’ last hope for a market rally. AMBCrypto looks into what’s next.
SPX bulls fight back as price hits key demand zone
Analysis of the SPX 4-hour chart showed that the asset had traded into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) demand zone. This refers to price levels where unfilled buy orders lie, typically acting as a catalyst for a potential rebound.
In this case, a rebound could lead SPX back to a high of $1.36, representing a 17.93% jump.
However, if the FVG demand fails, SPX could drop to a lower demand level between $1.056 and $1.025.
This lower demand level previously triggered a push to the most recent high of over $1.4. A similar move might be replicated if SPX returns to this zone.
Liquidity crunch deepens bearish pressure
AMBCrypto analyzed other market indicators to assess whether the current FVG demand zone is likely to hold.
To do this, two key technical indicators were considered: the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and the Money Flow Index (MFI).
The CMF tracks whether buying or selling volume dominates the market, based on its position above or below 0. At the time of writing, the CMF read at -0.10, indicating that sellers were currently dominating.
This trend has led to a significant drop in market liquidity, as also shown by the MFI. The MFI tracks liquidity inflow (above 50) or outflow (below 50) for an asset.
The MFI was 42.6 at press time, implying increased outflows and placing SPX at a critical point. With selling volume rising and liquidity exiting the market, the FVG level on the chart is less likely to hold.
Despite crash, SPX still dominates
A broader market outlook shows that SPX remains one of the top-performing assets.
CoinMarketCap’s 90-days Performance Index for cryptocurrencies shows that SPX has gained 131% during this period—making it the best-performing memecoin in the market.
This trend suggests continued strong interest in SPX and a significant potential for a rebound.
A medium-term outlook based on Community Sentiment also reflects this interest, with 82% of investors voting to remain bullish on the asset despite the recent decline.
Overall, while SPX may be on the verge of another drop, the bulls are not backing down just yet.
