$ERA 24 hours +16.67%, and +6.77% over the past four hours—but that 6.77% breaks down: the first three hours climbed from 0.0813 to 0.0892, gaining +9.72%, while the final hour reversed -2.69%, closing at 0.0868.
That final hour alone covered a 7.0% range: it first touched 0.0897, also the high for the full four-hour period, then fell back to 0.0838. The close was still 3.2% below the high.
The futures market hasn't caught up. The mark price is 0.08557, 1.4% below the current price; the funding rate is -0.46%, still negative. The price moved 16.67% in 24 hours, yet the futures price stayed below spot throughout. This rally hasn't translated into a premium.
So I read this as a tug-of-war, not the start of a fresh acceleration. To say this move has been sustained, I'd first want to see it close above 0.0897 and stay there, with the discount narrowing as well. If it breaks below the four-hour low of 0.0792, the 13.3% range flips the other way. Keep the reverse scenario in mind too: a single hour can cover 7.0%, and just as easily give the gains back in that same hour.
