Floki Down 38% In A Month: What Is Going On?

Floki FLOKI/USD has been in a prolonged downtrend, leading traders to question whether market makers or retail investors are behind the bearish price action.

Cryptocurrency	Price	Market Cap	24-Hour Trend	7-Day Trend
Floki FLOKI/USD	$0.00009245	$888.9 million	-5.3%	-6.7%
Bonk BONK/USD	$0.00001754	$1.35 billion	-4.5%	-5.5%
SPX6900 SPX/USD	$0.7209	$671.2 million	-7.6%	-7.8%

Trader Notes: Trader Master Kenobi noted that FLOKI has erased all gains from the past year, with market makers aggressively extracting liquidity.

Unlike Dogecoin, FLOKI never saw a true bull market, launching at the tail end of the 2021 cycle.

It crashed 98%, rebounded to an all-time high in 2024, and has since been in a 240-day decline.

An estimated 90% of FLOKI's supply is controlled by market makers, suggesting that a large pump could happen if retail FOMO kicks in.

Binance's connection to FLOKI remains unclear but could be strategic—with FLOKI locking up significant BNB liquidity, Binance may see it as a way to boost BNB's ecosystem.

At its valuation, a 10X-20X rally could be possible in a bull market, especially if BNB hits four-digit levels.

Still, the trader wonders how much of the price action is organic.

Statistics: IntoTheBlock data shows Floki's large transaction volume expanded 135.8% in the past 24 hours while daily active addresses were down by 8.9%.

Transactions greater than $100,000 remained relatively flat at 9.

Coinglass data shows open interest down by 8.7% in a single day to $14.9 million. In December 2024, open interest had peaked to $48.7 million.
