LooksRare’s LOOKS Ready To Melt Faces: Analyst Predicts 10000% Surge Above $5.2

LooksRare first burst into the scene as one of the first NFT marketplaces to carry a vampire attack on OpenSea and it was rewarded heavily as its LOOKS token enjoyed great success. Just like the rest of the crypto market, the LOOKS has since succumbed to the bearish headwinds, losing over 98% of its bull market highs. However, this might not continue for long as one crypto analyst has predicted a massive burst that could send the price toward its previous highs.

LOOKS Poised For Parabolic Move

In an analysis posted on TradingView, a crypto analyst that goes by without_worries on the platform has predicted a meteoric price rise for the LOOKS token. The analysis identifies major indicators that have turned bullish, pointing to a 10000% increase in price.

First, the analyst notes that the price action and the RSI resistance breakouts point to a potential bull rally. Then there is also the fact that multiple oscillators have turned toward a positive divergence with the price action that has been recorded. As the analyst explains, this positive divergence continues to get stronger with a move up in the timeframe.

The third factor that points toward this rally is the panic in the crypto market. Volume has been on the rise as investors scrambled to get back in the market and take advantage of the rising prices. “Every sell off is met with a large volume increase,” the analyst states.

A falling wedge pattern that uses the highest to the lowest touch points also supports this theory of a breakout. So while it is likely that the price could keep falling, there is a higher chance that it will begin to climb, the analyst explains.

Furthermore, the analyst identifies the fact that LOOKS is yet to be listed on major exchanges such as Binance. As such, this provides a unique opportunity to get into the coin before it gets on investors’ radars.

LooksRare Recovery To New Highs

The analysis which was first posted on November 22 put one of the price targets just above the $5.2 level, which would be an initial 5,000% move from the $0.097 price mark at the time.

However, given the analyst’s 10,000% increase prediction, there is the expectation that the altcoin will cross its previous all-time high price of $7. Completing a 10,000% move from here would see the price rise to $9 which would be a new all-time high price.

A breakout seems to have already begun for the LOOKS price by Friday. The price is already over 23% up and continues to show bullish tendencies. However, there is no timeframe presented by the analyst for when this 10000% move would be completed.

LooksRare Monthly NFT Trading Volume Flash Crashes 97% In October: What’s Next?

The monthly trading volume of LooksRare, a decentralized non-fungible token (NFT) and digital collectible marketplace, is down 97%, crashing from $71.9 million registered in September 2023 to just $2.1 million in October, Token Terminal data shared by Web3 Academy on October 26, via X shows. 

LooksRare’s Monthly Volume Tanking, Falls To $2.1 Million In October

The unprecedented drop in activity couldn’t be pinned on any particular LooksRare-related event when writing on October 26. This contraction is despite the broader cryptocurrency market recovering, rising as seen by the welcomed expansion of leading assets, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

According to trackers, monthly volume has been falling steadily since April 2023. Then, the average volume exceeded $150 million, pointing to rising interest, especially from traders. At that time, it should be noted that most crypto assets were also growing.

Specifically, Bitcoin broke higher, touching $30,000, triggering demand and reviving hopes that the market was looking up again following the collapse in 2022. By June through September, the average monthly volume in LooksRare had more than halved before plunging to less than $3 million in October 2023.

The spike in monthly trading activity in April coincided with the release of LooksRare v2, which saw the platform’s developers reduce trading fees by 75% from 2% to 0.5%. The updated version is also more gas efficient, allowing traders to save up to 30% on gas compared to the previous edition. Moreover, with LooksRare allowing traders to place bulk orders when buying or selling, monthly volume rapidly rose in April.

NFT Bull Run Postponed, Will LOOKS Break Resistance Line?

With activity rapidly contracting, LOOKS, the native token of LooksRare, has also been flat-lining, looking at price action. The token trades around the $0.070 level at spot rates, retesting August highs. However, an inverted hammer suggests that the uptrend momentum could wane, and bears might reverse gains.

Despite concerns, LOOKS is up 60% from H2 2023 lows and may still rally in the months ahead. Looking at the candlestick arrangement in the daily chart, a close above $0.070 with expanding volumes could set the ball rolling for buyers who expect the token to retest 2022 lows at around $0.12.

Overall, NFT and digital collectible trading activity remains relatively lower, even with bullish traders expecting prices to turn around and rally in 2024. Recently, there was a brief increase in the floor prices of leading NFT collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Azuki, and CryptoPunk. However, with trading volume and the number of new owners still at record lows, researchers put off the chance of an NFT bull run starting in Q4 2023.
