$MMT just made it to the spot gainers list top 10 today, so I took a quick peek at the data, and it's quite interesting.
It spiked nearly 9%, but the spot volume barely broke 2 million.
Contract volume is more than 4 times that - 8.46M versus 2.01M.
This setup indicates low spot activity while contracts are leading the charge, suggesting retail traders aren't jumping in much; it feels like someone is pushing from the contract side.
Then I noticed the funding rate is at -0.0565%, which is negative.
Logically, a 9% increase should have a slightly positive funding rate - the bulls are usually aggressive.
A negative funding rate means shorts are paying the longs, indicating that there was a heavy short position before, and this surge might be a short squeeze.
It's not coming from active buying pressure; it's the shorts being forced to cover that's pushing it up.
My trader friend once said that this kind of structure is the hardest to chase - because a short squeeze often ends as quickly as it begins, with no follow-up buying logic.
Today also had quite a range, with prices moving from $0.1178 to $0.1351, a daily volatility exceeding 14%.
This kind of volatility, combined with over 12,000 trades, means each trade averages just a few hundred bucks; it’s not big money at play, just a bunch of small retail orders piling up.
Right now, I feel like this move is more of a technical bounce + short covering rather than being driven by any fundamentals.
I'm hesitant to chase it, and I’m not looking to short either.
I’ll wait to see if it pulls back and stabilizes; if it holds, then I might reconsider.
I really don't want to experience another situation where my position changes after stepping away for a bit, so I’ll just sit this one out for now. 😅
