CKB’s trend fading away despite emerging as top gainer

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for spotting trends and navigating market volatility, I must admit that the meteoric rise of Nervos Network (CKB) has caught my attention. The past month’s 140% rally is certainly impressive, particularly when considering its trading at $0.018 – a level not seen since June.


Over the last week, the native currency of the Nervos Network experienced significant increases, however, its upward momentum appears to be slowing down.

Over the last month, Nervos Network (CKB) has risen to the top of the group of the 100 major cryptocurrencies, with a significant surge of approximately 140%. Remarkably, in just the past day, its value increased by 19%, and at the moment of this writing, it is being traded at $0.018 – which is its highest point since June.

Although there has been a recent price adjustment, Nervos Network’s open interest remains significantly elevated. On September 12th, the open interest for CKB was approaching the $7 million level prior to its listing on Upbit.
