OKB Price Prediction: OKB Explodes 90%, Buy Now or Wait for Better Entry?

OKX exchange’s utility token, OKB (OKB), has delivered stunning gains recently and has emerged as one of the top performing altcoins. Over the week, it surged by 90%, setting a new all-time high (ATH) yesterday (22 August) at $257.03. It’s now up over 440% on the yearly chart.

Following its nearly vertical ascent, cautious traders wonder whether a further rally or a sharp correction is next for OKB. Let’s examine the catalysts behind OKB’s rally, as well as its technical outlook, to determine which direction it will go in next and whether it can continue its push toward $300.

Scarcity-Driven Fundamental and Utility Expansion Helped OKB Surge

OKB has tripled in value this month, and the main drivers of its impressive surge were announced on August 13th. That day, a supply shock surprised investors, as 65.2 million OKB tokens were removed from circulation.

The token’s supply now stands at 21 million, mirroring the supply of Bitcoin (BTC). With the burn introducing scarcity, as well as the removal of the burn and mint functions, OKB is now positioned as an attractive long-term investment.

The burn was accompanied by the transformation of OKB into the exclusive gas token for OKX’s new X Layer blockchain. Immediately after the news, OKB skyrocketed from $45 to $114, with utility-driven demand seeing its price increase to the current $220 since then.

While these factors can continue driving demand for OKB in the future, its short-term outlook isn’t as bullish. Following its jump past $220, OKB entered extreme overbought territory, with its Relative Strength Index (RSI) reaching 93.48. Plus, its long/short ratio dipped to 0.9 as more traders opened short positions, anticipating a further downturn.

Although bulls remain in control, the current technical setup suggests a reversal may follow once profit-taking ensues. While a pullback can occur, OKB is unlikely to revisit its pre-burn price in the $50 range, since lower supply and greater utility now support the token.

Crypto expert ChinaPump believes a move to the $190 range is the most likely outcome before OKB’s next leg up.

The $190 level has significance because it acted as strong support during today’s OKB rally. If a dip occurs, the expert expects OKB bulls to step in. This could make $190 an ideal point for both new and returning OKB investors to accumulate the token.

Once OKB resolves its current overextension, this consolidation could provide a solid foundation for the next sustained rally. Depending on market conditions, OKB could find its way to a new ATH after the $190 level consolidation is over.

However, because OKB’s upside may be limited after its recent impressive run, traders are looking for the next utility token that could deliver similar explosive growth.

Best Wallet Token Moves Past $15M Raised Amid Utility Token Craze

While OKB’s recent surge proves that interest in utility tokens that power entire ecosystems is high, its multi-billion-dollar market cap limits its upside potential. In contrast, Best Wallet Token (BEST), the upcoming utility token of Best Wallet currently in its presale, will launch with its market cap in the millions.

With the release of BEST, Best Wallet seeks to provide its users with similar benefits to those OKB offers following its recent upgrade. Most notably, these benefits include lower gas fees while buying, swapping, and selling tokens.

Best Wallet’s features already offer low-cost access to over 90 blockchains, 330 DEXs, and 30 bridges. That means holding BEST is likely to introduce some of the best rates and lowest fees in the entire market.

Plus, holding BEST while using Best Wallet lets investors access vetted presales before they become available to the general public. Beyond these benefits, BEST will provide its holders with governance rights and higher staking rewards via its upcoming features.

Analyzing its roadmap, presale expert Crypto Borch highlights that BEST’s utility will only grow as Best Wallet expands its capabilities.

He believes BEST’s presale phase will come to an end soon, as it can shut down early based on demand. Boasting $15 million raised, BEST is one of the most hyped upcoming tokens, leaving investors with limited time to join.
