Price: $110.66 (-4.95% in 24 hours) 24H volume: $29.4M
Why it's moving: OKB's drop looks like spot selling on its own: futures positions barely moved, long bets were forced closed, and there's no news or relevant project post. • Futures positions barely changed on OKX (open interest −2%): spot selling is leading • $240K of long bets force-closed on OKX in 24 hours: that forced selling added to the drop • 73% of OKX futures traders are still long as it falls: they're the side under pressure • Bitcoin −0.6%: this move is OKB's own
Where it stands: Lowest since Sep 16, still 52% below its all-time high of $228.74 (Oct 2025). Next support: $108.72.
