It will likely continue to see losses amid growing bearish sentiment in the market.<\/p>\n<p>Data from Santiment shows that OKB\u2019s weighted sentiment has shifted further into negative territory following its recent gains, indicating that traders are increasingly expecting a potential pullback.<\/p>\n<p>The weighted funding rate in its futures market has also turned negative, indicating that a growing number of traders are opening short positions in anticipation of a further dip in prices.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The backdrop also comes as whales appear to be offloading their OKB holdings. Santiment data shows a sharp drop in the number of whale addresses holding between 10,000 and 100 million tokens following OKB\u2019s skyrocketing rally yesterday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/app.santiment.net\/charts\/QcBWUPcy__sCl\" target=\"_blank\">Santiment<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Such a sell-off from whale investors could lead to further declines if it triggers panic selling among retail traders who often follow these deep-pocketed investors into or out of positions.<\/p>\n<p>It is also common in the crypto market for early investors to sell off their holdings to lock in profits after a cryptocurrency reaches an all-time high. Such moves can accelerate a price decline for OKB if they coincide with a broader market sell-off, especially since the overall crypto market remains close to its new peak and could face heightened volatility.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OKB price analysis<\/h2>\n<p>On the daily chart, OKB\u2019s price has not established any distinct pattern, as its recent surge followed months of consolidation within the $34\u2013$65 range since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1827\" height=\"888\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755163980_492_Will-OKB-token-price-crash-after-200-surge.png\" alt=\"Will OKB token price crash after 200% surge? - 2\" class=\"wp-image-14405489\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">OKB price, RSI and ADX chart \u2014 Aug. 14 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Relative Strength Index has formed a bearish divergence after entering the overbought zone at 95 and subsequently declining to 91. While this marks a slight pullback, the indicator remains in extremely overbought territory, still signaling elevated risk of a correction.<\/p>\n<p>The Average Directional Index currently stands at 24, suggesting that a potential reversal trend is developing but not yet at full strength. A reading above 25 would confirm that the reversal is gaining momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Fibonacci retracement analysis identifies the next significant support at $81.96, corresponding to the 38.2% level. A decisive break below this level could open the way for a deeper decline toward $44.20, a key long-term support zone.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, if buying pressure emerges and OKB rebounds from $81.96, it could signal the start of another upward leg for the token.<\/p>\n<p>The next few days will be critical in determining whether OKB can stabilize at higher levels or see its gains unravel once the post-rally momentum fades.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
