Starknet's Four-Day Run Reached +164%. Monday Brought the First Real Pullback
STRK rose another 19.3% on October 11 to its highest close since December 3, 2025, on $103.8 million of volume. Early on October 12 it fell 18% from its peak, while Celestia and Caldera were already cooling.
Starknet's STRK has been the strongest large-volume move in crypto this month, and Sunday, October 11 extended it again. The token rose 19.29% to $0.12316, its highest close since December 3, 2025, on $103.8 million of volume — the first time its daily volume topped $100 million in this run. It reached $0.1265 in the last hour of the day. From Thursday's low of $0.04797, that was a gain of 164% in four days.
The path wasn't smooth. Early on Sunday, STRK jumped 14.4% in the 01:00 UTC hour, then fell 11.2% two hours later. It spent most of the day between $0.105 and $0.12 before a push in the 15:00 UTC hour (+6.6% on $7.5 million) and another into midnight.
Monday morning, October 12, was different. STRK dropped 7.1% in the 02:00 UTC hour, briefly trading at $0.109, and by 07:00 UTC it was near $0.104, about 18% below Sunday's high. Two of the tokens that had rallied alongside it were already cooling: Celestia's TIA fell 3.47% on Sunday after touching $0.6333, and Caldera's ERA slipped 2.69%.
An 18% pullback after a 164% run is, by itself, ordinary. What matters is where the pullbacks stop. Starknet's previous breakout level was around $0.0625, Thursday's high, and its Friday close was $0.0731. As long as the dips hold well above those levels, the trend is intact; a fast move back toward them would suggest the rotation into layer-2 tokens is running out of buyers.
