<p>TradingView’s Binance STRK/USDT daily chart showed the token trading at $0.09607, up 24.78% from the session’s opening price of $0.077. The rebound followed a drop to $0.0718, while the day’s high reached $0.09874.</p>
<p>The recovery brought STRK back toward $0.10 after several days of losses. TradingView’s weekly chart still showed a decline of approximately 22.4%, with the token trading below its weekly opening level of $0.12311.</p>

<p>TradingView’s daily Murrey Math indicator placed STRK just below a support-and-resistance pivot at $0.09766. The session’s high briefly exceeded that level, but the price had returned below it at the chart’s timestamp.</p>

<p>A sustained move above $0.09766 would put the nearby $0.10 threshold back in focus. Beyond that, the indicator’s next marked boundary stood at $0.12207, close to the area where the recent rally reversed.</p>
<p>From approximately $0.096, reaching $0.12207 would require another gain of about 27%. That upper boundary also sits near the weekly high of $0.12494, leaving a clear gap between the current rebound and a full recovery of the week’s losses.</p>

<p>On the downside, the daily indicator marked the bottom of its trading range at $0.07324. STRK briefly traded below that boundary when it reached $0.0718, before recovering above it.</p>
<p>Those two levels form the nearest lower reference zone on the daily chart. Beneath them, the next Murrey Math pivot stood at $0.04883, substantially below the current trading price.</p>
<p>The daily Aroon indicator showed its upward reading at 71.43% and its downward reading at 7.14%. The upward reading remained dominant despite the pullback from the recent peak, although it had retreated from its maximum level.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-governance-vote-concerns-research-into-an-independent-network">The governance vote concerns research into an independent network</h2>
<p>Starknet’s governance forum <a href="https://community.starknet.io/t/should-starknet-become-an-independent-post-quantum-l1/116392" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> the seven-day poll would gauge holders’ interest in exploring an independent, post-quantum layer-1 blockchain.</p>
<p>According to the proposal, approval would begin a research effort leading to more detailed proposals and polls. A rejection would leave the network pursuing its post-quantum work as an Ethereum layer-2.</p>
<p>The forum identified Ethereum-dependent components, including Starknet’s bridge and data availability, as the reason for considering independence. Its proposal said those components remain tied to Ethereum’s security timeline.</p>
<p>The proposal also stated that STRK would remain the network’s token and that Ethereum bridges would stay open under either path. It gave no timeline for an independent network.</p>
<p>Market commentator Route 2 FI linked STRK’s initial rise to news of the vote in an Oct. 15 post. The commentator reported approximately 99.8% support at that point, while stressing that a favorable result would support research rather than approve a transition.</p>

<p>That distinction separates the confirmed governance development from claims that Starknet has already decided to leave Ethereum.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="weekly-momentum-remains-positive-despite-the-price-retreat">Weekly momentum remains positive despite the price retreat</h2>
<p>TradingView’s weekly MACD showed the MACD line at approximately 0.00689, above its signal line at minus 0.00362. The histogram remained positive at about 0.01052.</p>

<p>Those readings contrasted with the weekly price decline: STRK had surrendered part of its recent advance while the MACD retained its bullish crossover.</p>
<p>The weekly Stochastic RSI presented a more stretched picture. Its two readings stood near 90.25 and 92.37, both above the indicator’s conventional 80 threshold.</p>
<p>The faster line was slightly below the slower line, leaving a mixed weekly setup alongside the positive MACD. Price had rebounded sharply from the weekly low, but remained well below the opening level and recent high.</p>
<p>The longer weekly chart also showed STRK trading below earlier peaks near $0.20 and above. Even after its October advance, the token had recovered only part of the decline visible across the broader chart.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="liquidation-bands-and-token-releases-frame-the-next-test">Liquidation bands and token releases frame the next test</h2>
<p>CoinGlass’s one-month liquidation heatmap showed several overhead bands between approximately $0.094 and $0.10, followed by additional bands around $0.107–$0.11.</p>

<p>Below price, brighter concentrations appeared around $0.065–$0.070. Additional bands sat near $0.075–$0.08, placing leveraged positions on both sides of the rebound.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Starknet’s documentation <a href="https://docs.starknet.io/learn/protocol/strk" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">states</a> that up to 127 million tokens allocated to investors and early contributors unlock on the 15th of each month through March 2027.</p>
<p>At approximately $0.096 per token, that scheduled tranche represents roughly $12.2 million. The documentation also identifies STRK’s uses as transaction fees, staking, and governance.</p>
<p>For U.S. holders following the governance debate, the official documentation specifies that STRK does not represent equity in StarkWare or the Starknet Foundation.</p>
<p>On the price chart, $0.09766 and $0.10 remain the immediate recovery tests. A move above both would bring $0.12207 into view, while a reversal would return attention to $0.07324 and the $0.0718 weekly low.</p>
