The latest completed 1-hour period rose 9.36%, with trading value up 216.23% from the previous period—$ACT ’s acceleration isn’t coming from price alone. Quantity OI increased 2.70% over the same period, while the 30-point window expanded 32.95%, suggesting this surge was accompanied by new leverage rather than just short covering.

Over the rolling 24 hours, spot and perpetuals rose 21.39% and 20.87%, respectively, moving in the same direction across both markets. But both the indicative and most recent settled funding rates are only +0.0050%, showing no signs yet of longs paying at extreme levels. OI reflects position size only; it can’t prove that new positions are net long, nor confirm that the rally will continue.

A continuation would be better confirmed if a full hourly candle closes above 0.012493 USDT on increased volume, without OI growth accelerating excessively. If price falls back below 0.011365 USDT while OI contracts rapidly, I’d prioritize guarding against deleveraging after the spike.
