NFTs on-chain are also seeing some interest as Realms was released as a part of Starknets blockchain gaming scene. Adding to the bullishness is the fact that Realm has support for Cartridge.ggs Controller, a smart contract wallet dedicated wallet. This support will help in aiding user experience when players on games supported by Realms decide to trade their assets on the platforms marketplace.
Overall, Starknets growth in the long term is guaranteed. According to Dunes statistics, the weekly transaction count grew by nearly 19% with active addresses within the same timeframe expanding by almost a percent.
$0.447 Rejects Upward Trajectory, Halting Medium-Term Growth
As of writing, STRKs position remains favorable despite the crucial $0.447 resistance rejecting short to medium-term movement. The token might stabilize within the $0.388-$0.447 trading range before a breakthrough.
STRKs continued upward relative strength index (RSI) hints at a few more days of bullishness before returning to stable levels. This will lead to a breakthrough before dropping again to its current trading range. If this occurs, STRK will experience a drop in volatility before the bulls can attempt to break through again.
However, the broader markets bearishness has the potential to swing the entire market downwards. Weak macroeconomic indicators, might still be present in the long-term, but only to a lesser extent.
