GUA is currently around 0.0505u, and the price action these two days has been pretty wild.
On August 9, it just printed a new historical low of 0.0348. The next day, a single big bullish candle surged straight to 0.0768. In the 24-hour contract, it gained 34 points. From the 7-day low, that’s roughly double and then some. This move is basically a violent rebound that took off from the low point.
But here’s the issue— the higher it surged, the faster it pulled back. Now it has retraced from the peak all the way down to 0.0505, and the price has fallen back below the 50-day moving average, lining up right around the 20-day moving average. In the 4-hour structure it still looks like it wants to go up, but it didn’t hold; the short-term momentum feels a bit shaky.
The key is the contract side. Open interest jumped by nearly 90% in a single day—leveraged funds are piling in extremely quickly. Whale accounts hold long positions that make up about 70%, so longs are clearly crowded. In this kind of position, if the capital can’t hold, volatility will amplify and become very uncomfortable.
There’s also a supply-side factor. Circulating supply is only about 30%, and the market “float” is small, so the market cap is only on the order of tens of millions of USD. When new shares hit the market, it’s a noticeable short-term pressure. Bottom line: this kind of huge volatility is driven more by sentiment and leverage than by fundamentals propping it up.
My view: this isn’t a comfortable spot to chase. It already spiked and then reversed, and leverage is packed in tightly—chasing longs here is not a great risk-to-reward. If you really want to participate, wait for this wave of volatility to settle, then after the pullback finds support, re-evaluate. Don’t catch the falling knife on the first day after a volume spike. Watch first—let the capital choose the direction.
