GUN has been surging aggressively these days, soaring 36.46% in 24 hours to $0.02156, with trading volume skyrocketing to $130.24 million. However, a closer look at the market shows some irregularities—despite such a strong volume, open interest (OI) in the futures market only slightly increased to $562.6 million. This phenomenon of simultaneous price and volume increase but lagging OI growth often indicates short-term adjustment pressure.
Essentially, this rally is mainly driven by spot market funds, while futures market participants are cautious, suggesting that longs are taking profits. Looking at the turnover, the extremely high trading volume reveals a key message: early holders are likely distributing their positions opportunistically.
From a trading perspective, key levels should be closely monitored. Support is at $0.01850 (former high turned support), and resistance is at $0.02480 (the 0.618 Fibonacci level on the daily chart). If the price retraces to $0.01850 with a significant decrease in volume, it could be a good opportunity for a light position on the left side; conversely, if a volume breakout above $0.02480 occurs, the probability of a long entry on the right side increases. However, chasing the high at current levels is not a favorable risk-reward trade.
The current market structure is essentially a typical retail FOMO combined with main force watching—over 13 billion in volume supports a 36% increase, which indeed indicates an exaggerated turnover efficiency. The next 24 hours are critical: if the price fails to hold above $0.02200 and OI starts to turn downward, there’s a high chance of a quick retracement to the $0.01600 range.

Hmm… This wave of FOMO looks quite dangerous. Early holders are probably quietly selling off.
The main players are so calm, and the open interest isn't moving much. What does that indicate… think about it.
As for this turnover rate… let's not chase the high. Wait until it drops to 0.0185 and see.

Such a strong increase, but OI is still timid. The main players have already started to offload, and retail investors who are left holding the bag are really having a tough time.

The main players are watching, retail investors are taking the bait. I've seen this routine many times.
It's the old trick of OI lagging behind. Early holders should start to run now.
0.0185 is the real entry point; chasing higher now is just giving away money.
The turnover is so outrageous, indicating someone is frantically distributing tokens.
A 36% increase relies on retail FOMO; how can this last?
Wait for a pullback; chasing highs is just gambler's psychology.
It feels like it's going to crash down. If OI doesn't follow, all good signals are useless.
If it can't break through 0.0248, be prepared to defend against a drop to 0.016.
This market feels off; let's see the real story tomorrow.

To be honest, the recent trend of GUN looks quite risky. With such weak OI, a sharp correction is expected later. Retail investors are all FOMO chasing, while the main players have already started to offload.
With such high turnover, early investors are definitely running away. It's really unwise to chase the high now. Let's wait until it drops back to 0.018.
A 36% increase supported by this trading volume? It feels like a quick retracement is just around the corner. Let's gamble on whether it can hold 0.022 in the next 24 hours.
GUN is now just a game of hot potato. OI isn't growing but the price is soaring. This contrast looks very strange. Be careful of losing everything, everyone.
The futures market hasn't followed suit, indicating that institutions have already seen through this. The retail investors' pattern of taking over is too obvious.
If it can't break through 0.02480, a direct plunge back to 0.016 is not impossible. Chasing high now is just giving away money. Better to wait for the correction.

Retail investors are getting caught again. The FOMO this time is really intense. With such a high turnover rate, early investors already sold out.
What are the main players waiting for? They just saw a small increase in OI and dared to boast? The key is in the 24-hour view—see if it can hold steady above 0.022, otherwise it's a sharp pullback.
Such high trading volume paired with OI growth? Clearly distribution. Don't chase the highs, really.

Data shows that OI is lagging; this unreasonable mechanism is at play again. Let's wait and see.
