The reason for $KAIA ’s sharp surge is clear, but the market has already entered a new phase
This rally didn’t come out of nowhere. Upbit added KAIA/KRW, KAIA/BTC, and KAIA/USDT markets today, with trading starting at 18:30. The timing of the announcement coincided with the first leg of Binance’s KAIA/USDT move, from around 0.038 to 0.068.
But “why did it rise?” and “can you still chase it now?” are two different questions. As of 20:45 Beijing time, Binance was at 0.0546, down 19.7% from the 0.068 high. It had also fallen below the 0.058 warning level flagged in the previous post. The listing news explains the backdrop to the sudden move, but it doesn’t guarantee a follow-through.
Now, 0.058 has shifted from support to the first level the price needs to reclaim. A recovery in trading volume and a move back above that level would signal that selling pressure is easing. If the price continues to be capped on rebounds, the market is still digesting the event-driven premium.
So don’t treat the 24-hour gain of +43% as proof that the breakout is still underway—it only shows how much the price had risen earlier.
