"On-chain data shows the attacker exploited a compromised signer key to buy STY tokens at 99% discount, swapping 5.1 BNB (~$3K) for 625K STY. The hacker then immediately dumped tokens on PancakeSwap, netting ~$600K profit. Protocol treasury now holds just 62K STY left—a 90% depletion. Whale wallets rapidly sold STY holdings post-exploit, dropping price 42%."

"Market was already showing weakness on STY with descending triangle since July. This exploit explains the abnormal volume spike below support at $12.50. Now we're testing February lows around $8 - if that doesn't hold, next major support isn't until $5.80. Bears in control until we reclaim the 200DMA at $14.20. Wouldn't touch this until the exploit fallout is fully priced in."
