$RAD 24h -24%: a single plunge from the 0.425 high to 0.308—the +46% surge two months ago has now given back most of its gains in one go.
News: I checked news and project updates from nearly the past 48 hours and found no clear negative catalyst. The +46% move in August had no fundamental catalyst to begin with (the unlock had long since ended, and there’s no value-capture mechanism); it was purely a sentiment-driven spike followed by a rapid drop. Today’s -24% looks more like a continuation of profit-taking: 24-hour trading volume was $7.36 million, and there was barely any meaningful rebound after the price plunged from its high. This suggests there’s considerable overhead supply, with holders more eager to break even than buyers are to step in.
Data: The current price is 0.321. The funding rate is 0.0000, with a historical rate of just 0.0001—so mild that there are almost no longs in the market. There’s no long squeeze underway and no fuel for a short squeeze. The basis is -0.69%, meaning futures are trading at a slight discount to spot, with bears having a slight edge. The price plunged 27% straight from 0.425 with no pause, breaking below the recent support zone; bearish momentum is clearly in control.
Conclusion: Short-term outlook is bearish; I wouldn’t recommend trying to catch the falling knife. You could short to bet on further downside momentum, or wait and see how the price behaves after a rebound.
