YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — Curve Finance (CRV) coin price has dropped over 50% from its year-to-date high of $1.29 in February 2023. And it appears the token will suffer more in the coming months.
The trouble began for CRV after its parent Defi network, Curve Finance, lost $47 million in a security exploit on July 30. Since then, the token has declined by over 15% and, as of July 31, was changing hands for $0.63.
That marks Curve Finance’s second hack in less than a year. Notably, in August 2022, the Defi protocol lost about $570,000 after attackers compromised the front end of its liquidity pool. That hurt CRV’s upside prospects, with the token declining by around 70% afterward.
Other factors contributed to the Curve Finance’s price decline, including the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX exchange. Such catalysts no longer exist, barring lawsuits targeting crypto exchanges Binance and Coinbase, which may have wider implications on the crypto market.
Nonetheless, CRV risks witnessing an investment outflow after repeatedly being at the receiving end of hackers. Or, the market will ignore this extraordinary event altogether, according to analyst LilMoonLambo.
From a technical perspective, CRV risks dropping massively in 2023.
Notably, the Curve Finance token has declined inside a descending channel pattern since January. Most recently, it tested the channel’s upper trendline as resistance and pulled back by 30%. Its next downside target appears to be the lower trendline in the $0.40-0.48 range, down circa 35% from current price levels.
Conversely, CRV’s daily relative strength index (RSI) stands “oversold” after dropping below 30. Theoretically, it means the price could consolidate sideways or recover in the coming days. Should it cover, the upside target appears to be around $0.70, up 12.5% from current price levels, in August 2023.
