SKYAI drops 19% as bearish pressure tests key support level
SKYAI fell 19% on May 27 as bearish pressure mounted and short positioning intensified, pushing the token toward a critical support level that will determine whether the selloff deepens or a recovery takes hold.
"Short positioning has increased significantly over the past 48 hours, with traders reducing exposure as momentum turns decisively bearish," a derivatives analyst at a crypto data firm said, citing on-chain flow data.
The decline accelerated as selling pressure broadened across the token's trading pairs. Open interest data showed a contraction in long positions, while short-side volume expanded relative to the 7-day average. The token's price action has traced a series of lower highs since the start of the week.
The key support level, if broken, could open the door to further downside of 10 percent to 15 percent, according to technical analysis. A hold at this level, however, would set up a potential relief rally as oversold conditions attract dip buyers. Traders are watching for a close above the level to confirm any reversal.
The selloff in SKYAI comes as broader crypto market sentiment remains fragile, with several altcoins facing similar pressure from macro headwinds and reduced risk appetite. The token's decline accelerated after it failed to hold above a prior resistance-turned-support zone, a pattern that technical traders view as a bearish signal.
On-chain data showed active addresses declining over the past week, suggesting reduced network engagement during the selloff. Transaction volumes also contracted, reinforcing the bearish narrative.
The coming sessions will be critical. A breakdown below support would confirm the bearish continuation pattern, while a bounce from the level could attract momentum traders looking for a short-term reversal. The token's relative strength index is approaching oversold territory, which historically has preceded at least temporary bounces.
