SNT development activity on the rise

Status has been making waves in the blockchain space, as evidenced by a 35% growth in development activity, a metric verified by Chain Broker.

According to the analyst, Status ranked among the top 10 projects for development activity growth in the past month. Its overall activity measure of +35% put SNT alongside heavyweights like Cosmos, and Solana.

The project’s consistent focus on its mission—delivering private messaging, crypto freedom, and true decentralization—has kept its development efforts robust. A recent update from the official Status account emphasized this commitment.

Status is a project dedicated to enhancing an open-source messaging platform and mobile interface for Ethereum-based decentralized applications, likely contributing to its recent price momentum.

Status price forecast: What next for SNT?

Traders might want to watch the broader market for overall sentiment, with Bitcoin futures suggesting a weakness as China reportedly sells its seized crypto.

If there’s a sharp retracement, wavering on the part of bulls will impact the rest of the market.

The crypto fear & greed index also points to caution.

Technical indicators provide an outlook for SNT’s price trajectory.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 61 and upslopping, signaling a potential flip into overbought territory.

Similarly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reflects bullish momentum. The signal line is above the 50-period mark, while the positive histogram adds to this picture.

However, the recent 9.65% price increase could signal a potential reversal if bullish momentum builds.

Derivatives data from CoinGlass highlights market dynamics, showing fluctuations in futures volume and open interest for SNT.

OI up 89% to over $7.4 million and rising trading activity in futures suggests growing speculative interest. This could amplify price volatility, with a jump in open interest continuing in the short term.

In this case buyers could push SNT price to $0.05. However, the market continues to seesaw and SNT’s price may have to rely on support near $0.018.
