The token put on 27% in a day. The protocol's deposits are down 8.7% since September.

$COMP ripped from $21.5 to $29.3 in about 48 hours — with no announcement, no governance vote, no partnership behind it. Just 57x the normal volume and futures funding at 10.9% annualized (longs paying shorts). Meanwhile Compound's TVL sits near $1.52B, still 8.7% below its September 21 level. Price up, protocol money down — that gap is the whole trade.

Three scenarios from here:
• Bullish: reclaim of the $27–27.8 zone puts the $29.3 high back in play, with funding keeping it volatile.
• Bearish: losing the $21.3–21.9 support zone unwinds the whole vertical launch toward $20.6.
• Sideways: chop between $22–27 while funding cools and spot decides.

My read: catalyst-less verticals with crowded longs usually give the move back — but the $52M institutional lending program built in September is real business underneath. Respect both.

Save these levels: resistance $27–27.8, support $21.3–21.9. What's your invalidation? $COMP NFA. DYOR.
