ZORA Shows Signs of Exhaustion After All-Time High as Bears Eye a Reversal
After a strong rally in July, Solana's momentum is waning as the price drops and network activity slows. August may bring further challenges unless sentiment improves.
ZORA’s price performance has taken a bearish turn in the past 24 hours, slipping further from its new all-time high of $0.105.
The downturn follows a reduction in whale activity and a modest rise in exchange inflows, signaling the start of a profit-taking cycle.
ZORA Whales Exit as Token Nears Peak — Is a Correction Coming?

The sudden pullback comes after ZORA’s rally to its all-time high of $0.105. With rising market volatility and uncertainty creeping into the broader altcoin space, whales appear to be trimming their exposure while the token’s price remains high.
This wave of profit-taking from whales could also set off a domino effect among retail traders. With confidence in the short-term trend weakening, smaller holders may be inclined to follow suit, worsening the downward pressure on ZORA’s price.
Furthermore, ZORA has noted a modest 0.36% uptick in its holdings across exchanges over the past day. This suggests a rise in the number of tokens sent to trading platforms since ZORA recorded an all-time high.

When an asset’s exchange inflow spikes, it is often a sign that holders are preparing to sell. The rising inflow combined with the dip in whale activity and declining buy-side momentum adds to bearish pressure, increasing the likelihood of a ZORA price correction in the short term.
ZORA Weakens as Sellers Take the Lead
From a technical perspective, ZORA’s Balance of Power (BoP) indicator is negative at press time, highlighting the clear decline in buying pressure. At press time, the momentum indicator, which measures buying and selling pressures, is at -0.76
This suggests that the bulls are losing control, and sellers are beginning to dictate market direction.
If this continues, ZORA’s price could plummet to $0.068.

On the other hand, a rise in buy-side strength could trigger a breach of the resistance at $0.084 and a rally back to $0.105.

After Jensen Huang's speech, CoreWeave's stock price, which had fallen by as much as 9.5% in early trading, turned positive. The company's five-year CDS rose above 1,190 basis points during Thursday’s session, a historical high reflecting the cost of debt default protection, while yields on some of its corporate bonds have climbed above 15% to 16%. The five-year CDS spreads for Oracle, Amazon, Google’s parent company, and Meta are all at historically high levels.

Overall, while AI-related financing costs are not yet excessively high, worrying signs have begun to emerge.
