GMX's price has recently dropped by 63%. It looks weak, but this kind of oversold condition could actually be a sign that support is forming.
The key is the change in the supply-demand structure after January 2026: the protocol buyback size is about $14.88 million, which will exceed the natural growth of the circulating supply, pushing the net difference to +19.91%. At that time,
$GMX will enter a truly meaningful net deflation phase.
Two catalysts are layered on top:
First, the CEO incentive plan is progressing, further aligning management interests with token performance;
Second, improved protocol governance brings long-term expectations.
Current price is $5.92, market cap is only $61.78 million, and 24-hour trading volume is $2.9 million—thin liquidity means that once the market re-prices the deflation narrative, the upside could be relatively strong.
The risks are also straightforward: trading volume is too low, competition in the derivatives track is intense, and whether the buyback pace is actually delivered needs ongoing monitoring. This is not a short-term signal, but a structural observation point that spans several months—focus on whether on-chain data around the period before and after January confirms net deflation.
