$STRK rose 27% yesterday.
It’s not a mainstream coin, and it’s not a MEME coin—the L2 sector is making a move on its own. The broader market is up 2.5% for BTC and 3% for ETH. That kind of gain is pretty normal among altcoins, but STRK’s trading volume was $413 million—a figure that retail traders with small positions couldn’t generate on their own.
Several trends have recently converged in the L2 sector: lower data transmission costs after the Cancun upgrade and EIP-4844, steadily improving TPS figures on the Starknet mainnet, and quietly rising TVL at several DeFi protocols in the ecosystem. None of these is explosive news on its own, but taken together, they give traders an excuse for “sector rotation.”
What I’m paying closer attention to is whether this rally has staying power.
Looking at the derivatives market, L2-related tokens have a tier less liquidity than mainstream coins. Once a trend takes hold, stop-loss levels can be hard to find, making sharp rises and falls more likely. If you’re trading short-term, volume on the 4-hour chart is a key signal: be cautious if volume rises but the price stalls.
Do you think this L2 rally is a flash in the pan, or a valuation recovery backed by fundamentals?
