Analysis of Abnormal Fluctuations

- Upbit listed the SPK/KRW trading pair on April 23, sparking an influx of Korean retail funds and driving the price up over 70%.

- SparkLend added $120 million in deposits and $50 million in loans over the past week. TVL increased from $189 million to $360 million, absorbing part of the $1.62 billion deposit outflow from Aave caused by the KelpDAO attack (April 18).

- The total amount of SPK staked surpassed 500 million (509,969,466). F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted on X, expressing regret for selling 83.7 million SPK last year.

Market Perspective and Outlook

The mainstream market sentiment is bullish, recognizing SparkLend’s market share expansion in DeFi liquidity competition and the positive momentum from the listing. However, an overbought RSI (daily 85) and high OI (+102% in 24 hours) suggest short-term pullback risk, with traders watching the $0.042 support and $0.06 resistance levels.
