PancakeSwap's token CAKE rebounded after a period of weakness. The price held above $1.30, rising to around $1.56 before slightly retreating. At the time of writing, CAKE was trading at $1.52, up 10.2% on the day.
This rebound was accompanied by a significant increase in trading activity. Data shows that CAKE's trading volume increased to $88 million that day, a 182% increase from the previous day. As the price recovered, the token also climbed back above the 20-day and 100-day moving averages, indicating improved short-term momentum.
Derivatives holdings increased in tandem
According to CoinGlass data, CAKE open interest rose to $31 million, an increase of approximately 40%; derivatives trading volume increased to $59 million, an increase of approximately 124%. The simultaneous rise in both open interest and trading volume typically indicates new positions entering the market.
Exchange data also shows a rise in bullish sentiment. The long/short ratio has risen to 1.01, and the long/short ratio among top Binance traders has reached 1.7, indicating that some active traders are more inclined to be bullish.
Spot fund flows turn to outflow
The spot market also showed stronger buying activity. Data in the article shows that approximately $5.81 million flowed out of CAKE spot, exceeding the inflow of approximately $5.26 million, resulting in a negative net spot outflow. A negative net outflow typically means more tokens are being withdrawn from exchanges rather than flowing into exchanges for sale.
In the crypto market, a simultaneous strengthening of both spot buying and derivatives positions often enhances short-term price elasticity. This is also a key point of interest in the current CAKE rebound.
The area around $1.6 is a short-term level to watch.
Regarding momentum indicators, the article mentions that the RSI has returned to 57, indicating that buying power has strengthened compared to before. If market demand continues, CAKE will next test the $1.6 level and then approach the resistance near $1.7.
However, if the rebound weakens and prices fall below the short-term moving average again, the market may retest the $1.30 area. Overall, this round of CAKE's rise is not only due to price correction, but also accompanied by simultaneous improvements in trading volume, open interest, and spot market flows.
