Here's the kicker: $WAL 's spot trading only saw action today with $2.49M, while the contracts have already hit $7.63M, which is a whopping 3.1 times.
This kind of disparity catches my eye for sure.
Early this morning, while I was feeding the cat, I noticed $WAL 's price at $0.0389, with a 24h gain of 15.43%, and the highs and lows at $0.0393 / $0.0326.
It looks like there's some emotion rushing in, but the hype is mainly on the contracts, not in the spot market where buyers are slowly accumulating.
What's even more subtle is that the funding rate is only +0.0050%.
This indicates that while there are bulls, the excitement isn't overly exaggerated—it's not the type that screams 'packed train'.
However, the open interest is sitting at 67,651,046 WAL, which is intriguing.
My take is that this coin made the leaderboard today not just from natural spot volume, but it seems like short-term money pushed the contract sentiment up first, with the spot market playing along, and only after that did we see this price uptick.
This kind of market can easily get people hyped, as it gives you the illusion that 'it’s not crowded yet, seems like there's still time to chase'.
But honestly, the spot trading isn't particularly thick; 27,238 transactions look lively, but when volatility kicks in, the support might not be as solid as everyone thinks.
I'm personally leaning towards a wait-and-see approach, not chasing.
If it can hold its ground at these highs and the spot volume gradually picks up, I might reconsider.
Given the current structure, I'm feeling a bit uneasy, especially since contracts have already run up too much—momentum can flip on a dime. $WAL #WAL
If I lose, don't call me; if I profit, buy me a coffee.
