LayerZero [ZRO] is down more than 11% in the past 24 hours as trading activity waned. ZRO was slumping while major cryptos like Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and Ripple [XRP] gained almost 2%.<\/p>\n

The more bearish signals were pointing to why LayerZero was declining despite a daily increase in mindshare. Mindshare rose by 28% with 3.46K engagements and mentions due to a partnership with Near Protocol [NEAR]. What were these bearish signals?<\/p>\n

ZRO price prediction: Are traders bracing for more losses?<\/h2>\n

The main signal was the bearish market structure. Since equaling last October’s peak of $2.593 on the 11th of February, ZRO has been making lower levels.<\/p>\n

ZRO broke below the sideways range between $1.244 and $2.593 last month. It confirmed the breakdown with a double retest of the $1.244 level, turning it from support to resistance.<\/p>\n

LayerZero now appears to be trading toward the low created on October 10th’s crypto market crash. Since February, buy orders have dominated aggregate liquidations, resulting in long squeezes.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the CVD shows selling pressure is gaining pace once again. In fact, more than 142K ZRO tokens were being sold at the time of press.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it raises the question of whether the drop will continue down to the October 10 low of $0.310. Structurally, it looks like the more likely scenario, especially if the $0.740 zone breaks.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, ZRO price is forming a consolidation with a triple touch of the zone. And the fourth one is coming. But why is ZRO more likely to break?<\/p>\n

What’s heightening the price decline?<\/h2>\n

Long liquidations were spiking with almost no short liquidations. This amplified the price drop, with $512K long positions wiped out compared to $5.77K worth of shorts. These figures showed bulls lost to bears by a magnitude of 10x.<\/p>\n

More leverage favored shorts. As per CoinGlass, cumulative short liquidation leverage was about $1 million between $0.799 and $0.885. On the other hand, long positions totaled $378.5K between $0.700 and $0.783.<\/p>\n

These leveraged short orders indicated bears outweighed bulls by a 3x magnitude.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, there was looming selling pressure from token unlocks. Every 20th day of the month, LayerZero has cliff unlocks of 25.71 million ZRO. This was equivalent to 4.40% of the released supply, which was 363.28 million ZRO tokens.<\/p>\n

Therefore, ZRO remains bearish with $0.310 as the most viable demand zone if market conditions remain the same.<\/p>\n
