Deep Dive
1. Technical Rebound (Mixed Impact)
Overview: ZKJ’s RSI14 (37.64) remains near oversold territory, while the MACD histogram turned positive (+0.00085) for the first time since June’s crash. The price briefly tested the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level ($0.0718) but faces resistance at the 7-day SMA ($0.0483).
What this means: Traders may be capitalizing on oversold conditions, but weak volume ($2.94M, -2.55% YoY) and high circulating supply (38.8% of 1B tokens) limit upside. The 200-day SMA at $0.421 remains a distant barrier, reflecting long-term bearish sentiment.
What to look out for: A sustained break above $0.05 could target $0.055 (38.2% Fib), while failure risks retesting June’s low of $0.043.
2. Futures Listing Momentum (Bullish Catalyst)
Overview: KuCoin launched ZKJ/USDT-M perpetual contracts on August 12, enabling 30x leverage. This followed WOO X’s June 17 futures listing, collectively increasing derivatives activity.
What this means: Futures listings typically attract short-term liquidity and speculative trades. However, ZKJ’s open interest remains low compared to its June crash, where $97M in longs were liquidated in 2 hours. The 24h spot volume of $2.94M suggests cautious participation.
3. Phoenix Revival Program (Neutral Impact)
Overview: Polyhedra’s July 1 Phoenix Revival Program offers stakers future airdrops and product incentives to offset June’s 87% crash. Only 34% of the supply is circulating, with unlocks ongoing.
What this means: While the program aims to retain holders, skepticism persists. ZKJ remains -94% below its March 2024 peak ($4.01), and the fully diluted valuation ($290M) implies dilution risks as tokens unlock.
Conclusion
ZKJ’s 24h gain appears driven by technical factors and futures-driven speculation rather than fundamental shifts. While MACD signals and exchange listings offer short-term optimism, persistent unlocks, low liquidity, and damaged trust from June’s liquidity attack pose structural headwinds.
Key watch: Can ZKJ hold above $0.05, or will the August 11 unlock of 15.5M tokens (~$767K at current prices) reignite sell pressure?
