🔥 $S Up More Than 10% in One Hour: Did Leverage Ignite Before the Burn of 32.69 Million Tokens?
Sonic has become one of tonight’s strongest coins to watch.
The latest price is around $0.0717, up about 23% in 24 hours and another 10.7% in the past hour, briefly reaching $0.0720. 24-hour trading volume is about $172 million, more than 60% of its circulating market cap of roughly $279 million.
The market may be pricing in the October 15 supply event early:
Sonic says around 32.69 million S tokens from its first- and second-quarter airdrops remain unclaimed. Any tokens still unclaimed by the deadline will be permanently burned. Based on the current total supply of about 3.885 billion, that represents roughly 0.84%.
But it’s important to distinguish:
❌ A burn = the market immediately buys 32.69 million S
✅ A burn simply removes unclaimed tokens; it does not directly create spot buying pressure
❌ A 0.84% drop in total supply = 0.84% fewer tokens available for sale today
✅ These tokens were unclaimed to begin with, so the main impact is on potential future supply
The real thing to watch is the derivatives setup:
• Perpetual open interest is about $189 million
• Equivalent to about 67.7% of circulating market cap
• 8-hour funding rate is about -0.0447%
• Derivatives trading volume is about 21.5 times spot volume
A negative funding rate means short positions are relatively crowded. If the price keeps rising, it could trigger more short covering and liquidations. But high open interest also means that if the market reverses, deleveraging could happen very quickly.
Watch these three levels next:
1️⃣ $0.0720
The latest 24-hour high. A decisive breakout and successful retest would open the way to test the psychological levels at $0.075 and $0.080.
2️⃣ $0.070
The short-term bull-bear pivot. If the price holds here as volume cools and funding rates gradually normalize, the setup would be healthier than a continued vertical rally.
3️⃣ $0.060
A break below this level accompanied by a rapid drop in open interest would suggest that the short squeeze may be turning into deleveraging. Also watch the 24-hour low at $0.0548.
Burns can reduce future supply, but they can’t guarantee a price increase. Whether this rally can continue depends on whether S can hold above $0.072 and whether spot buyers step in after leverage unwinds.
Do you think this is a supply repricing—or a leveraged short squeeze ahead of a burn event?
