Current price forecast: $3.9 Exploitation for the altcoin crash has already dropped by 39%
Streaming network shut down after $3.9M exploit sparks panic South Korean exchanges signaled FLOW, triggering cancellation concerns. Flow remains below key support, with bearish technical indicators.
The streaming network has faced one of its most challenging times after a serious exploit that raised new concerns about the network's security and management.
As the decline widened, pressure on FLOW intensified, indicating growing imbalances among market participants.
In the past 24 hours alone, Flow's price has fallen by roughly 15.25% to $0.10, extending its losses to nearly 39% over the past week.
The flow is exploited
The crisis began on December 27, when attackers exploited a vulnerability in Flow's execution layer, draining nearly $3.9 million in a series of cross-chain bridges.
Validators responded by shutting down parts of the network to prevent further losses and pushing the downstream network into read-only state.
To handle the incident, the network has implemented chain resets and improvements related to the Mainnet-28 protocol.
Update: Protocol fix released
A protocol fix that addresses today's exploit has been released. Node operators are coordinating to deploy the update.
What does this mean for restarting the network?
The net will return to the checkpoint before being exploited. This is important…

Many ecosystem participants have criticized the Flow Network for not being sufficiently transparent and have warned that stalling and reverting could pose a significant risk to exchanges and users.
South Korea changes position on watch list
As technical concerns mount, major South Korean exchanges including Upbit and Bithumb have placed FLOW on an investment watch list, citing the latest security incident and ongoing investigation.
According to South Korea's Virtual Asset User Protection Act, such a designation could result in a 60-day review period and delisting that weighs heavily on market sentiment, given South Korea's importance to conducting business.
Even the possibility of an increase or decrease encouraged traders to exit the position.
Previous examples involving other tokens under similar reviews have not only fueled fears, but also contributed to the sharp fall in prices and a sell-side surge.
Flow market sentiment turns defensive.
Technically, FLOW has broken below several key support levels, including the psychological $0.10 mark.
The selloff pushed the token to a new all-time low near $0.097, highlighting the depth of the cap.
Momentum indicators paint a bleak picture with the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) falling below 13 to sell territory.
Such readings often indicate fatigue among sellers, but do not guarantee a lasting recovery.
Additionally, FLOW remains well below major exponential moving averages, indicating a strongly bearish trend.
Trading volume has also weakened over the long term, suggesting buyers are reluctant to enter at historically low prices.
Flow rate forecasting in an uncertain situation
The broad technical view continues to lean bearish.
Of the basket of indicators commonly monitored, most currently indicate a lower risk than recovery.
While oversold conditions may blow short-term loans, the larger structure remains intact.
On the higher timeframe, the weekly RSI is sitting in neutral territory, indicating that the bearish trend still has room to grow.
From a long-term perspective, the distance between the current price and meaningful resistance levels indicates the extent of the future challenge.
For FLOW to signal a true trend reversal, it needs to retrace lost ground well above current levels, including major averages.
Until confidence in network security, governance and transactions is restored, such a move seems unlikely.
