The rise included a sharp spike and a substantial fall back. A market-positioning squeeze may have amplified the move, but no verified event explains what started it.

Q's move can't be compared with Bitcoin's yet; the figures below describe the move, not its cause. Q rose further than this on 3 of the past 29 days. No Q report was collected from the day before to the day after; the cause is unresolved. Since 2025-09-02, Q has risen 30% or more in a UTC day 8 times on Gate · USDT daily closes, counting moves within 7 days of each other once. ## What may be driving the move The rise included a sharp spike and a substantial fall back. A market-positioning squeeze may have amplified the move, but no verified event explains what started it. - amplifier · medium: Negative funding on Gate perpetuals, including -0.0913% at Oct 28, 16:00 UTC, is consistent with pressure on short positions; short liquidations were also recorded. These conditions could have amplified upward moves, but do not show that a squeeze caused the rise. Evidence gap: The largest reported liquidation hour was long liquidations at Oct 28, 04:00 UTC, and the data do not establish when the rise began or whether short liquidations followed it. Sources: [S3](), [S5]() - amplifier · low: Spot volume in the measured 24 hours was much lower than in the preceding 24 hours, so thinner trading may have amplified price swings. Evidence gap: This comparison does not identify the initiating buying or show when liquidity became thinner; the available order-book snapshot shows more bids than asks, not uniformly thin depth. Sources: [S6]() Open question: What triggered the spike, and when did it begin, remain unknown.
