Cronos (CRO) experienced renewed selling pressure on Friday, February 6, falling sharply amid broader weakness across the cryptocurrency market.

Currently, CRO is trading at $0.07193, marking a 9.45% decrease in value over the past 24 hours. In the same period, the crypto asset saw a trading volume of $52.4 million, while its market cap was close to $2.87 billion, thus enabling Cronos to have a market share of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌0.13%.

The recent drop in CRO price is due to the lack of risk appetite in the digital assets market, with investors moving away from risk-on assets. The drop in CRO price is in line with the drop in other mid-cap cryptocurrencies, as investors focus on protecting their capital.

Despite the recent decline, long-term forecasts for Cronos have regained attention after a crypto analyst projected a bullish outlook, suggesting CRO could rebound and hit $1 by 2032, driven by ecosystem expansion and rising adoption.

Long-Term Price Outlook and Forecast Range

CRO is expected to reach a maximum of $0.1324 in 2026, averaging around $0.1135. The estimates for 2027 show prices to range between $0.1625 and $0.1954.

By 2028, the forecasts show a further increase, with Cronos expected to trade between $0.2449 and $0.2823 on average, based on long-term modeling assumptions adopted by analysts.

Looking ahead, the 2029 forecast shows Cronos to trade between $0.3459 and $0.4199, averaging around $0.3585. The forecasts for 2030 show a further appreciation, predicting a trade range from $0.5167 to $0.6242, as the long-term valuation assumptions improve gradually based on scenario-driven growth models associated with network usage, liquidity, and market cycles.

Global Crypto Market Conditions Affect CRO

The long-term forecasts are extended up to 2031 and 2032, with CRO expected to trade between $0.7887 and $0.9038 in 2031.

The recent developments, such as the cross-bridge mainnet beta launch and the brand awareness development through partnership program,s have impacted the market sentiment, although the overall market sentiment is still driven by the overall crypto market conditions prevailing globally.
