Worldcoin's WLD token could lose 17% of its value within the next 14 days, according to a forecast from CoinCodex, which pins the price at roughly $0.20. The prediction blames persistent bearish momentum and what analysts call retail long squeezes — a scenario where overleveraged buyers are forced to sell as prices fall, accelerating the decline.
Why the drop is expected
The forecast leans heavily on technical indicators. CoinCodex's model tracks selling pressure across exchanges, and the data shows no sign of a reversal. Short-term traders who bought WLD on margin are now at risk of liquidation if the price keeps sliding. That creates a feedback loop: more selling drives the price lower, which triggers more liquidations.
Worldcoin has struggled to hold support above $0.25 in recent weeks. The token's daily trading volume has been shrinking, a sign that new buyers aren't stepping in to absorb the sell orders. Without a catalyst — such as a exchange listing or a partnership announcement — the path of least resistance remains downward.
Previous targets vs current forecast
Just a few months ago, CoinCodex had set a much more optimistic target for Worldcoin. The firm predicted WLD would reach $0.48 by January 2025. That forecast now looks out of reach. The gap between the old target and the new one underscores how quickly sentiment has shifted in the crypto market.
It's not unusual for price predictions to change as market conditions evolve. But the swing from a nearly 100% gain to a 17% loss in the same timeframe highlights the volatility that defines small-cap tokens like Worldcoin. Retail investors who bought at higher levels are now sitting on unrealized losses, and the lack of fresh demand makes a recovery difficult in the short term.
What this means for traders
For anyone holding WLD, the next two weeks could be rough. If the prediction holds, the token will trade at levels not seen since its early days on exchanges. Stop-loss orders placed too close to the current price might get triggered, locking in losses before any potential bounce.
On the flip side, a drop to $0.20 could attract bargain hunters — if they believe the token is oversold. But that kind of buying would need to be heavy enough to reverse the trend, and right now there's no indication that institutional or retail buyers are lining up.
The $0.20 mark also serves as a psychological floor. If it breaks, the next support level is anyone's guess. CoinCodex's model doesn't extend beyond the 14-day window, leaving traders to wonder whether the decline will stop there or keep going.
