Deep Dive
1. Buyback-Driven Scarcity (Bullish Impact)
Overview:
The Defi App DAO repurchased 2.4M HOME (~$57K at current prices) this week, part of a program allocating 80% of protocol revenue to buybacks (Defi App).
What this means:
Buybacks reduce circulating supply while signaling confidence in HOME’s value. With only 2.72B tokens circulating (27% of total supply), even small buybacks amplify scarcity. The program has offset 150% of weekly emissions since August 2025, creating net deflation.
What to look out for:
Weekly buyback volume vs. trading activity – sustained demand could push prices above Fibonacci resistance at $0.0242.
2. Kaito Airdrop Distribution (Mixed Impact)
Overview:
The Kaito S2 campaign ended September 26, 2025, with 125M HOME (1% of supply) set to distribute to active users. Recent reminders about eligibility (Defi App) may have spurred last-minute participation.
What this means:
Airdrop claims often cause short-term volatility – recipients may sell for quick profits, but new users acquiring HOME to qualify could boost demand. With the Fear & Greed Index at 27 (Extreme Fear), opportunistic buying might outweigh panic selling.
3. Technical Breakout Signals (Bullish)
Overview:
- MACD: Bullish crossover (histogram +0.000355) suggests momentum shift.
- RSI 14: 56.96 – neutral but room to climb before overbought (70+).
- Key resistance: $0.0242 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement).
What this means:
The price ($0.0239) sits above the 30-day SMA ($0.0226), indicating bullish near-term sentiment. A close above $0.0242 could trigger algorithmic buying from swing traders.
Conclusion
HOME’s 24h rise reflects a mix of deflationary buybacks, airdrop-driven speculation, and technical momentum. While the broader market struggles, HOME’s tokenomics and community incentives provide localized support.
Key watch: Can trading volume sustain above $17.7M (current 24h level) to challenge the $0.0254 Fibonacci level?
