tradersunion.com reports that Worldcoin (WLD) is trading at $0.3886, marking a 6.77% intraday decline. The asset has fallen below its short- and mid-term moving averages, though it remains above the long-term average. On the hourly chart, WLD/USD is positioned below the MA-20 and MA-50 lines while staying above the MA-200.
The Ichimoku Kijun level is identified at $0.4064, acting as immediate resistance against further gains. Momentum indicators display pronounced bearishness, with the MACD and RSI both signaling a sell condition. Conversely, the Stoch RSI and CCI are in oversold territory, suggesting that selling pressure might be stretched but not yet exhausted.
Bull/Bear Power confirms strong seller dominance during the trading day, aligning with the downtrend shown by the Awesome Oscillator. Analysts previously noted a short-term recovery phase driven by improving indicators and increased buying interest. However, the current analysis indicates a clear shift toward pronounced bearish momentum.
The base case suggests continued consolidation or further losses if key support levels fail. An upward move is rated as having very low probability over the next two to three days. The price is expected to consolidate within a volatility band between $0.3651 and $0.4453.

Whalio spot data for WLD shows a price of $0.4119 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 49.4% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 56.0%. These short-term figures contrast with the 24-hour buy ratio of 50.8%, indicating that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term compared to the daily average. The 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$8,775, while the 4-hour delta is positive at +$614,323. This divergence suggests that while buying has accumulated over the last four hours, recent hourly activity has been dominated by sellers.
