Key Takeaways

  • Flare will activate a network upgrade today.
  • The Flare price risks breaking down below $0.012.
  • Can Flare’s network upgrade lead to a price rally?

The Flare mainnet upgrade is officially activating today, but instead of rallying, the FLR price is hovering dangerously close to a breakdown.

While the upgrade enhances scalability, performance, and smart contract efficiency, the charts tell a very different story.

Traders now want to know: Can the Flare upgrade spark a recovery, or is the FLR price about to hit new lows?

Here’s what the data shows.

Flare’s Network Upgrade

Flare is deploying two major hard forks bringing essential Cancun/Dencun features to its ecosystem, including:

  • Faster memory operations with the MCOPY opcode

  • Cheaper temporary storage via TSTORE and TLOAD

  • Improved dApp scalability and performance

  • Dynamic staking fees on the P-chain based on gas usage

The P-chain is also adding dynamic staking fees based on gas usage, with updated tooling like flarejs already released.

Songbird activated on November 25, 2025, followed by Flare on December 2, and all node operators must upgrade to go-flare v1.12.0 ahead of the fork.

Despite the fundamental improvements, price action remains bearish, and the charts suggest the upgrade may not be enough to reverse the trend.

Flare Price Analysis

The charts show that FLR has created lower highs under a diagonal resistance (dashed) since the start of 2024.

The most recent rejection (red icon) in October triggered a downward movement that is still ongoing.

Today, the FLR price is barely holding above the $0.012 horizontal support area.

This support area is crucial, as it has been in existence for over a year.

Bulls are still in control while the area exists, but the price action suggests a breakdown is inevitable.

The pattern of lower highs and weak bounces indicates that bears are gradually gaining control.

Once a breakdown occurs, the FLR price could plummet below its 2024 low.

Will Flare Break Down?

Momentum indicators suggest a breakdown is incoming.

  • The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below 50.
  • The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is negative.
  • Neither has generated any bullish divergences.

Combined with the FLR price action, the bearish readings suggest a breakdown is incoming.

So, all eyes are on the $0.0120 horizontal area. If that fails, the Flare price could plummet by another 35% to new lows.

Bearish Trend Ahead

The Flare mainnet upgrade may strengthen the ecosystem in the long term, but the charts suggest that the short-term price outlook remains fragile.

Unless FLR bounces decisively from the $0.012 support, a deeper correction looks increasingly likely.

If buyers fail to step in, FLR may be headed for fresh lows despite the mainnet upgrade.
