Many OHM forks rely heavily on the protocol’s native token price. The issue is that when the market is in a bull market, it creates a very positive feedback loop. However, once the market becomes negative which happens quite often (often outside of the protocol's control due to macro reasons), it has a negative price impact on the token and creates a negative feedback loop, that is absolutely inevitable. It cascades into self-sustaining selling pressure from falling bond sales and staking APY.
