Sonic Crypto Price Prediction: Can $S Hold $0.05 After Sharp Retreat?

Analysis

Sonic [S] traded near $0.05472 on October 13 after reaching $0.07379 earlier in the session. The daily chart showed it was about 26% below that high, losing most of the gains it saw. The retreat has set the sights again on the $0.05 area, while a declining volume-based indicator keeps some doubts about whether recovery will actually succeed.

Market Outlook

Meanwhile, Sonic's October 15 airdrop claim deadline draws closer, but it remains to be seen how many of the claimed Sonics will be eligible to be burnt. The latest two daily candles show sharp retreats from their highs. Trading activity increased during those moves, but S struggled to maintain the higher prices. The accumulation/distribution line tells a similar story. After improving during the recovery, it dropped steeply over the latest two candles.

Key Levels

At the time of this writing, S was down 3.05% from its previous daily close. Sonic announced in April that October 15 was the final claim deadline for its first two airdrop seasons. If there are still unclaimed tokens, they will be burnt, and anyone can trigger that process. The last announcement said about 32.69 million S was remaining at the time, but that number could fall as more people claim.

Technical Analysis

Separately, last month, Sonic admitted it commissioned an independent supply audit, and manual minting would stop. But automated issuance for validator rewards would continue. The nearest downside area sits around the $0.0523–$0.0500 price areas. Holding there would give S room to stabilize after the retreat. While a recovery through the $0.0600 – $0.0610 levels would certainly make the chart look brighter in the short term, however, the larger hurdles remain around the high prices in the $0.069 – $0.074 levels. If it loses the $0.05 price level and fails to recover, attention will move to the $0.0445–$0.0463 price areas.
