$BMT The question left by the post from eight hours ago was “a pause, or not done yet?” This round’s answer is straightforward: it wasn’t a pause, but a vertical four-hour move. The current price is 0.04036 USDT, up 78.66% over four hours—about 83% higher than the 0.02203 in that post from eight hours ago. The 24-hour figure has also flipped to +36.17%.

The shape is more worth watching than the magnitude. Over four hours, the price surged from 0.02259 to 0.05144, with that high reached only in the final hour. That same hour also saw a low of 0.03880, before closing at 0.04036—down 21.5% from the high and just 4% above the hour’s low. A 32.6% high-to-low range in a single hour: the surge and pullback both packed into the same 60 minutes.

24-hour trading volume is about 31.89 million USDT, more than double the 13.93 million in the post from eight hours ago. The price is surging, and this time volume has really followed through. The previous round had the opposite shape: a quiet decline as volume kept retreating.

The cost side is also heavily skewed. The funding rate is -1.582%, more than 80 times the previous post’s -0.0183%, while the mark price of 0.03876 sits about 4% below spot. This only shows that funding costs are being pushed to the negative side; it cannot be used to draw conclusions about direction.

To the upside, the move only truly continues if price reclaims 0.05144 and holds above it. A close below 0.03880 would give back the entire move from that final hour. The next funding-rate settlement is at 16:00 Taipei time; only if the reading moves from -1.582% toward the zero line will funding costs start to ease.

Keep the opposite scenario in mind, too: the daily figure is still +36.17%, yet the price is already 20% below its high. With a one-hour range of 32%, another move in either direction is still possible.
