cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Starknet's token is trading near $0.0576, reflecting an 8.7% gain over the last 24 hours. The asset briefly reached $0.0607, marking its highest level since May, following a sharp breakout above the $0.05 threshold over the weekend. This move builds on a period where STRK spent more than a week consolidating between $0.041 and $0.044 before breaking out on October 3.
Since that breakout, the token has gained approximately 48% over seven days and nearly doubled over the past month. Despite this recent surge, the price remains about 62% lower than its value a year ago. The report highlights that the next critical test is whether buyers can defend the $0.05 level, which now serves as key support behind the breakout.
Market intelligence notes that STRK is gaining a second narrative that actually changes demand. While the first thesis linked Starknet to Ethereum ZK L2s, the market had stopped caring. The new thesis connects Bitcoin and privacy, offering a clearer link to the token that is important for demand. This shift in narrative is cited as a driver for the current price action.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for STRK, measured when this story was written up on 5 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows STRK trading at $0.05871 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 55.8%, indicating strong short-term buying pressure. This contrasts with the 4-hour buy ratio of 50.5% and the 24-hour ratio of 49.6%, suggesting that buying intensity has increased significantly in the most recent hour. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$42,209, while the 4-hour delta is +$15,966, showing net buying in the immediate term. However, the 24-hour volume delta is -$128,708, indicating that over the full day, sellers have dominated the flow. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is -$39,633, confirming that net selling pressure has outweighed buying over the longer timeframe. Despite the recent spike in buying, the overall daily flow remains negative, with only 9 of 24 hours showing net buying activity.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.9% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.6% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for STRK, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.0%, with the latest day showing a slight increase of 0.6 points to 49.6%. Spot volume for the 24-hour period was $22,633,443, which is 3.74 times the weekly average volume, marking this as an unusually active day for the coin. Trading activity was high, with 312,602 trades recorded in the last 24 hours. The price change over the past 8 days was +39.6%, aligning with the recent breakout momentum. However, the total volume delta for the 8-day period was -$825,070, indicating that despite the price rise, net selling pressure has been persistent over the week. This suggests that while volume and price have surged, the underlying flow has been predominantly bearish over the longer term.
