This is the first UTC day since 2025-09-02 on which Q has fallen 50% or more on Gate · USDT daily closes. ## What may be driving the move The fall followed an unusually sharp surge, but no confirmed project event explains the reversal. Perpetual-market liquidations may have amplified it. - amplifier · medium: A report published Oct 27, 04:59 UTC noted a roughly 270% prior-day surge. Long liquidations totaled about $170,000 in the measured window; the largest reported hour began Oct 27, 06:00 UTC. Forced long closures could have added selling pressure, but the timing does not establish that they started the fall.

Sources: [S3](), [S13]() - trigger · low: A report published Oct 26, 08:59 UTC warned of downside risk ahead of a November token unlock. Anticipated supply could have weighed on sentiment during the fall. Evidence gap: The reports predate the move, and no evidence links the upcoming unlock to selling during this fall. Sources: [S16](), [S17]() Open question: What initiated the reversal, and whether the reported token unlock or other news affected selling, remain unknown.
