$WAXP This hour has surged sharply. I’ll first look for divergence and won’t chase the price. Binance spot from 09:00 to 10:00 rose from 0.00638 to 0.00717. The trading volume was 493k USDT, about 1.6x the previous hour’s 301k; but the 09:30 15-minute candle spiked to 0.00733 and then pulled back—higher volume doesn’t automatically mean it was taken over smoothly and bought up all the way.
More oddly, the futures market is expanding at the same time: Binance U-margined open interest is around 220 million at about 09:00 and about 273 million at around 10:00, up nearly 24%. Price is up, positions are increasing—this only suggests new positions are entering, but it can’t tell us whether longs have the advantage, let alone that whales are accumulating. The contract mark price at 10:04 is below the index price, so the estimated funding rate is negative, indicating there’s divergence between spot and futures in this push. Also, the estimated rate can change—don’t treat it as already-settled data.
Next, I’ll watch whether the 1-hour close can hold above 0.00733 and whether spot volume doesn’t quickly dry up. If it falls back toward 0.00638, this move looks more like a short-term breakout with heavy volume. If it holds the highs and the contracts’ contango/backwardation (premium/discount) tightens as contracts converge, then the continuation is worth discussing. #WAXP #量价 #Contract
