sky (SKY) Plunge

SKY surged 12% in 24 hours, showing potential for further gains. Key indicators support a sustained rally: the funding rate remains moderately positive at 0.0054%, suggesting bullish positioning is not yet excessive. Open Interest increased by 14.25% to $30.24 million, with $4.3 million in fresh inflows, indicating continued capital entering the market. Trading volume rose 106% to $31 million, aligning with the price increase. The perpetual market's long-to-short ratio reached 1.27, reflecting a bullish tilt among traders. Technically, SKY broke through a descending resistance trendline and a key horizontal level. The Accumulation/Distribution indicator shows buying pressure in control, suggesting the price could target higher resistance zones if momentum holds.

SKY surged 11% in the past day, with high protocol usage generating $987k in fees and volume reaching $13.49M. Momentum indicators strengthen the case for further upside. The Money Flow Index (MFI) signals growing capital inflows, while the MACD shows renewed bullish momentum. An inverse head-and-shoulders chart pattern suggests SKY could rally toward $0.067 if it breaks above the $0.050 neckline. Additionally, holder rewards provide an incentive to lock tokens, supporting the price. The combination of technical signals and fundamental demand points to potential for continued gains.

Sky Protocol reported strong growth amid a struggling broader crypto market in 2026, with its annualized gross revenue run rate reaching a record $419.08 million. The protocol's reserves grew to $82.5 million, and cumulative yield for sUSDS holders surpassed $250 million. sUSDS deposits and USDS supply saw significant year-over-year increases of 85% and 96.9%, respectively. Following the positive report, the native token SKY posted gains, reclaiming key moving averages and trading around $0.0602. The rally was supported by increased capital inflows, with USD inflows surging to $120 million and strengthened demand in both Spot and Futures markets. Technical indicators like the Stochastic Momentum Index suggested improving momentum, potentially opening the door for a move toward $0.064. However, a loss of momentum could see SKY retreat to $0.056. The team also announced plans to enhance ecosystem security and reduce operational costs.

After six years and raising approximately 3.2 billion yuan through two private placements, Luxshare Technology has officially terminated its two major SiC wafer projects. Only about 7.75% of the raised funds were actually invested in SiC construction and R&D, with the remaining 90% redirected to replenish working capital and repay loans. Despite previous ambitious plans for a 10-billion-yuan SiC industrial park and public assurances of progress, the company's actual SiC capacity remains unclear, with its subsidiary recording significant losses. The article details a pattern of chasing market trends, from electric vehicles and photovoltaics to the current focus on SiC. However, its SiC entry was late; while peers like Tianke Heda and Tianyue Advanced have moved from mass-producing 6-inch to 8-inch and even 12-inch wafers, Luxshare is still struggling with its 6-inch plans and now promises to develop larger sizes with its own funds. Key concerns include unclear disclosures about the status of its chief scientist, Chen Zhizhan, and significantly lower R&D investment compared to competitors. Financially, since its 2011 IPO, the company has raised over 7 billion yuan but generated only 221 million yuan in cumulative net profit. Meanwhile, the controlling shareholder family has cashed out nearly 2 billion yuan since 2018. The article positions Luxshare as a case study of a listed company focused more on financing and capital operation around hot topics than on substantive industrial development.
