OKB is gaining traction throughout the altcoin sphere and is eyeing an increment in its value, despite the weak market sentiment. Its price over the last 24 hours is aggressively up by 29.92%, and over the last week it is significantly up by 130.16%.
At the time of writing, OKB is trading at $221.43 with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.93 billion, significantly up by 265.31% over the last 24 hours. The coin has a market capitalization of $4.64 billion, which is also up by 29.96%.
The general market trend has turned bearish due to declining investors’ interest and BTC’s downward momentum. This downward momentum has badly impacted the overall market, but OKB is still expecting a potential rally ahead.
A prominent crypto analyst highlighted that OKB, the native token of OKX, is showing strength as both its price and social mentions accelerate, despite prevailing bearish sentiment across the altcoin market.
Traders view the token’s resilience as a sign of confidence in exchange-backed assets, where scarcity, token burns, and growing ecosystem utility continue to provide support even in challenging trading environments.
The momentum is driven by a major milestone: 90% of OKB’s supply has now migrated to X Layer, OKX’s Layer-2 scaling network. This transition consolidates the ecosystem into one chain with a fixed supply of 21 million tokens, reinforcing scarcity and establishing OKB as the foundation for OKX’s on-chain finance initiatives, DeFi growth, and broader adoption in the evolving crypto landscape.

OKB is showing strong bullish strength as technical indications go green. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 77.63, suggesting overbought conditions but confirming strong buying demand. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is considerably higher than the signal line, at 23.70 versus 19.15, confirming more bullish strength.
On the other hand, Bollinger Bands show the price is testing the higher band near $238.19, confirming the strength of the ongoing upsurge.
According to the price action standpoint, if the bull trend continues, the next resistance is at its all-time high at $243, while the nearest support is at $171.45 and $150.00. If it maintains its position above the $220 barrier, it may create a new leg higher, but short-term corrections are still likely given the overbought readings.
Derivatives trading has gone into overdrive, driving the upward rally. OKB’s volume jumped by 534% to $418.26 million, while open interest jumped by 177.69% to $23.13 million. The huge spike is evidence of a wave of speculative interest, with bulls rushing to take on leveraged positions.
The OI weighted funding rate currently stands at 0.0189%. This figure shows a slight dip in bullish positioning as traders are willing to pay a premium for holding long positions, but extended positive funding is usually observed before corrections, so traders need to be aware of short-term profit-taking.
