This layer-one asset is trapped in the grip of consistent structural selling pressure. Recent price projections circulating in May 2026 indicate a negative sentiment shift where sellers are methodically grinding down any bounce attempts. Technically on the daily (1D) chart, the price was harshly rejected after failing to break back into its upper boundary area, bowing in submission and continuing its macro downtrend dominance. On the 1-hour (1H) chart, despite repeated attempts by buyers to hold the position at the $9.20 equilibrium, buying momentum clearly appears to evaporate, forming a series of low structures vulnerable to collapse. This constant distribution structure is projected to eventually force the price to break local support, dragging the asset down to test the $8.80 point up to targeting a deeper capitulation area at $8.50 over the next 5 days.
If an unexpected news flow triggers the return of massive positive sentiment, the price could surge in a reversal trapping sellers (bear trap), invalidating the bearish scenario by breaking the $9.60 watch level.
