Bull Show All Over The Altcoin

The desire of buyers to acquire 1INCH tokens has generated a large increase in trading volume of around 400% overnight. The Correlation Coefficient indicator shows that BTC has less of a lead over 1INCH, with a 0.04 reduction in the CC indicator. Despite the sideways trend of BTC, purchasers are anticipated to increase the altcoin’s value.

The most recent rally coincides with a significant increase in trading volume in South Korea, a phenomenon seen during the price increases of both Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Aptos (APT) in the previous two weeks.

According to CoinGecko data, 1inch was the second most traded coin on Upbit with a 24-hour volume of $360 million, which is more than 15 times the coin’s 30-day average trading volume.

Coinglass statistics show the price increase since yesterday led to short liquidations in the perpetual swap markets worth $2.49 million.

What Is Making The DeFi Bulls Come Out?

The surge is not being driven by any recent news, but 1inch’s rally seems to be continuing the upward trend that XRP started when it won its legal battle with the SEC last week. A day after XRP had a 102% increase, other assets including Solana, Cardano, and Polygon also moved.

According to Coinalyze, the open interest across 1inch trading pairs has increased from $14 million to $125 million, which indicates that the rally has been supported by futures markets. Open interest represents the nominal amount of open derivatives contracts
