$LSK Lisk (LSK) Market Update: Chain Shutdown Sparks a Violent Short Squeeze — $0.276 Is the Line
LSK is trading near **$0.30** on Binance, up roughly **37% in 24 hours** and nearly **double** its October 26 low of $0.157. This is not a broad altcoin move—UNI gained just 2.70% over the same window. LSK is running on its own fuel.
What's Driving It: Lisk Chain shuts down permanently on October 31, and the DAO is burning 100 million LSK, cutting max supply from 400 million to 300 million. The token is repositioning as a loyalty asset for Lisk's new corporate treasury platform on Ethereum and Base. Add a negative funding rate of -0.1992%—shorts are paying longs—and the squeeze mechanics are obvious.
The Catch: The Onchain Foundation paused its LSK buyback due to a Binance security incident involving 9.258 million LSK, though it expects to resume next week. Liquidity providers have also been advised to withdraw from Uniswap's ETH/LSK pool.
Key Levels: MA5 support at $0.276**. Resistance at **$0.293 (upper Bollinger), then $0.310. RSI is at 78–82—overbought.
Binance Trade Setup: Long on a pullback to $0.276–$0.283 that holds, TP1 $0.293**, TP2 **$0.310, stop below $0.262. Do not chase the green candle. DYOR—this is a momentum trade, not a hold.
