The asset rebounded about 23% in 24 hours, but medium-term positioning did not expand in tandem. Public Binance data at 07:36 (UTC+8) showed $GTC spot at 0.18290, up 23.08%, and perpetuals at 0.18234, up 22.85%, with both markets moving in the same direction.
Over the previous completed 1-hour period, perpetuals rose 5.73%, with trading volume up 114.21% from the prior period; spot rose 5.91% over the same period, with volume up 91.36%. Across the latest four completed hours, perpetuals gained 9.50% cumulatively, while volume increased only 5.87% compared with the preceding four hours. Price acceleration has clearly outpaced the expansion in short- to medium-term trading volume.
👀 Quantity OI increased 2.80% over the latest hour, but was still down 1.30% over the 30-point window. The Funding indicated value was -0.1013%, while the latest actual settlement was -0.0617%. This looks more like short-term positions re-entering than a broad return of medium-term leverage. Negative funding could continue to amplify a short squeeze, but could also intensify a reversal if the rally fails.
The current unclosed hourly candle is already down 1.49% from the previous close. A move above 0.18781 in a subsequent completed hourly candle, accompanied by continued expansion in spot volume and OI, would support a test of higher levels. A break below 0.17478 accompanied by contracting OI would make it more likely that this hourly acceleration is shifting into deleveraging.
