Behind the Moves
Yesterday’s altcoin rebound lost momentum as Bitcoin slipped back toward $81,400. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $82.39 million in net outflows on October 16, keeping institutional demand concerns in focus as the market headed into the weekend.
ZRO gives back its rally as the next unlock approaches
• ZRO dropped back below $2 after yesterday’s sharp rebound. The reversal is consistent with profit-taking as the broader market softened, with an October 20 token unlock adding a potential supply headwind.
STRK remains under pressure as speculative excitement cools
• Active addresses fell 63% and new-wallet activity 81% between October 11 and 13, santiment finds. The earlier retreat has been the fading enthusiasm around the proposed Layer 1 transition following the initial surge
• The 127 million STRK unlock on October 15 added potential selling supply while momentum was already weakening. It remains a relevant headwind.
ARB retreats after its rally and scheduled supply release
• ARB’s pullback follows yesterday’s rebound and the 92.65 million ARB released yesterday which had been allocated to team members, advisors and investors. The supply event could be weighing on sentiment despite the recent stablecoin incentive announcement.
