KITE surges 12% as liquidity spikes – Yet ONE hurdle remains!
KITE surged 12% in 24 hours, extending its monthly gain to 67%, driven by aggressive speculative buying in perpetual futures. Open Interest rose 27% to $105M, with a positive funding rate confirming bullish control. However, the funding rate is declining and nearing neutral, risking a flip to negative—which would signal a shift to bearish sentiment. Despite the uptrend, Binance, which accounts for over 50% of KITE's liquidity, shows a Taker Buy/Sell Ratio of 0.61, indicating strong sell-side pressure. Liquidation heatmaps suggest two-way volatility, with price likely to move toward the nearest liquidity cluster. While monthly gains and inflows support KITE, concentrated selling on Binance poses a significant near-term hurdle.
