Only 1 hour of samples so far, one every 5 minutes.
No clear cause yet. The news and market data checked so far describe the move but do not explain it. Sources are re-checked about every 30 minutes, and this section updates when something new turns up.
Weaker possibilities: From Oct 30, 09:00 UTC to Oct 31, 09:00 UTC, open interest rose and buyer-initiated volume share was higher than in the previous 24 hours; funding was also positive at Oct 31, 08:00 UTC. (OKX perpetual swap: settled funding, OKX perpetual swap: open interest, OKX perpetual swap: taker buy/sell volume)
No clear initiating event explains the rise. Derivatives data suggests market positioning may have amplified it, but does not show what started it.
What triggered the rise, and did derivatives positioning materially amplify it?
