POND Technical Analysis: What Could Trigger the Next Move?

Key Support Levels

POND support levels: $0.001381 (24-hour low), $0.001100 (100 EMA, a trend line weighting recent prices), and $0.000625, all on theGeckoTerminal POND pool.

Key Resistance Levels

$POND resistance levels start at $0.002675 (a Fibonacci extension, a target projected from prior swings), then $0.003942 and $0.005993. But breakouts fail without confirmation.

RSI and Momentum

RSI reads 78.60. Above 70 means overbought, so pullback risk rises.

When we pulled up the chart, one candle stood out. Confirmation needs RSI cooling while price holds above $0.001381.

What Could Drive $POND Toward $0.005?

Marlin Oyster Adoption

Oyster is Marlin's compute marketplace, running jobs in TEEs. Usage could lift POND demand.

Decentralized Compute Narrative

Rotation into DePIN (physical infrastructure networks), AI infrastructure, and decentralized compute could help. Basically,AI crypto news tracks that theme.

Ecosystem Growth

Track Oyster jobs, active nodes, staked $POND, and 11,751 holders. Andcrypto airdrops can inflate holder counts.
