tradersunion.com reports that Starknet (STRK) gained 11.37% following DashXHQ's adoption of the STRK20 framework for private onchain payroll solutions. This partnership aims to address privacy concerns in business payroll management by enabling confidential transactions on Starknet's Layer 2 network. The move supports broader enterprise use of the blockchain for secure and scalable payroll operations.
Despite the surge, the asset trades below its 200-day simple moving average at $0.0345, indicating a lingering bearish structure. STRK/USD remains above its 20-day SMA at $0.0258 and 50-day SMA at $0.0262, showing short-term demand. Support is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.0265, with near-term resistance at $0.0319 and support at $0.0282.
Momentum indicators are mixed, with MACD and ADX showing buy signals while RSI and CCI suggest neutral momentum. Analysts note that Starknet remains in a broader bearish trend despite occasional rallies, advising traders to watch for a break above $0.0319.
How the market reacted

Whalio data shows STRK trading at $0.02599 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 48.1% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 53.1%. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 50.4%, indicating a slight increase in buying pressure over the longer timeframe compared to the immediate hour. Volume delta for the 1-hour period is negative at -$12,549, while the 4-hour delta is positive at +$113,982, suggesting that buying pressure has built up over the four-hour window despite recent intraday selling. The 24-hour volume delta is +$12,357, with cumulative volume delta (CVD) at +$222,971, reflecting net buying over the day. This data indicates that while short-term selling occurred, the broader trend over the last four hours and day shows net accumulation.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.4% sits at the 79th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 48.5% - 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 47.4%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 50.4% an increase of 3.1 points. This suggests that buying interest is slightly above the weekly average, marking a more active day for buyers. However, spot volume was 0.80x the average, indicating lower trading activity compared to the norm. Only 1 of the 7 days showed net buying, and the 8-day volume delta was -$1,116,491, contrasting with the current day's positive delta. This highlights that while today's buying ratio is elevated, it is an unusual day in terms of volume and recent net buying activity.
