Deep Dive
1. Exchange Delisting Impact (Bearish)
Overview: KuCoin delisted ONE from margin trading on December 5, forcing traders to close positions and withdraw funds. This follows EXMO’s September 2025 delisting, reducing liquidity and institutional access.
What this means: Margin trading accounted for 12-15% of ONE’s daily volume on KuCoin. The forced unwinding likely accelerated selling pressure, while reduced leverage options diminish short-term speculative interest.
2. Security Baggage Resurfaces (Bearish)
Overview: November 2025 reports linked North Korea’s Lazarus Group to the 2022 Harmony Bridge hack, coinciding with fresh warnings about blockchain’s freezing capabilities.
What this means: Investors remain wary of protocol vulnerabilities and centralization risks. Harmony’s inclusion in Bybit’s “freezable chains” list (Nov 13) compounds concerns about validator control over assets.
3. Technical Weakness (Mixed Impact)
Overview: ONE faces resistance at its 7-day SMA ($0.004026) and 30-day SMA ($0.004697). The RSI at 34.6 suggests bearish momentum but not oversold conditions.
What this means: Failure to hold $0.0038 could target the November low of $0.003628. However, the MACD histogram shows minor bullish divergence, hinting at potential stabilization if broader markets rebound.
Conclusion
Harmony’s price reflects shrinking liquidity from exchange delistings and persistent security concerns overshadowing recent protocol upgrades. While technicals show tentative signs of stabilization, the lack of bullish catalysts and ongoing market-wide risk aversion tilt the balance downward.
Key watch: Can ONE defend the $0.0036 Fibonacci support, or will reduced exchange access drive new yearly lows?
