Scroll (SCR) Price Prediction: Airdrop Disappointment Triggers Sell-Off, Token Risks Dropping to New Lows
Oct 23, 2024 at 09:00 pm
Ethereum layer-2 network Scroll launched its SCR token in a highly anticipated airdrop conducted on October 22. However, widespread dissatisfaction
Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution Scroll (L2) launched its SCR token on October 22 with a highly anticipated airdrop. However, the distribution has sparked widespread dissatisfaction among recipients due to the small amounts of SCR they received, resulting in significant selling pressure on the token.
Currently trading at $1.04, SCR has seen a 19% decline in the past 24 hours. As bearish sentiment continues to grow, the token’s price may face further losses. Here's why.
Scroll Airdrop Led to Problems
According to a blog post from the team, Scroll’s airdrop distributed 5.5% of the total SCR supply—55 million out of 1 billion tokens—to early contributors within the ecosystem.
Of this amount, 40 million SCR was allocated to on-chain participants who earned 200 or more Scroll Marks, the platform’s reward points for engaging with the layer-2 scaling network. An additional 1% of the supply was evenly distributed across eligible wallets, while 0.5% was reserved as a “bonus” for users who met specific criteria.
After the airdrop, some users of the L2 network, disappointed by the amount of coins they received, voiced their frustrations on X (formerly Twitter). One user, Joshyy, described it as the “worst airdrop so far,” sharing his disappointment after “farming Scroll with $60 only to receive 973 $SCR.”
Another user claimed to have dumped the tokens they received via the airdrop and bridged all their assets off the chain.
SCR Holders Sell Off Holdings
This surge in SCR’s selling pressure since its launch has caused its value to plummet by double digits. BeInCrypto’s assessment of its technical setup on an hourly chart signals the possibility of an extended decline.
For one, the bearish sentiment trailing the altcoin continues to grow, as evidenced by the negative value of its Bull Bear Power (BBP), which stands at -0.10 as of this writing.
This indicator measures the strength of buyers and sellers in the market. A negative BBP reading signals that sellers are in control and the market is experiencing downward pressure.
Moreover, SCR’s price trades near the lower band of its Bollinger Band (BB) indicator which measures its market volatility. Trading near this level usually indicates that the market is in a downtrend or facing selling pressure. This lower band typically serves as a support level, but if the price continues hugging this band, it reflects sustained bearish momentum.
SCR Price Prediction: Coin May Drop to New Lows
SCR currently trades at $1.04, just above support formed at $0.99, which marks its all-time low since it launched. Continued selloffs amongst market participants will drive SCR’s price below this level in the near term.
However, if market sentiment changes from bearish to bullish and SCR witnesses a resurgence in demand, its price will begin an uptrend and climb toward resistance at $1.55. A successful break above this level will see it rally toward the next resistance at $1.72.
