Jito Leads Upbit ‘Greed’ Rankings as Price Extends Gains Amid Selective Risk Appetite

Jito (JTO) extended its advance in Korea trading on Friday U.S. Eastern Time, rising about 2% even as market-wide sentiment on Upbit’s indicators flashed ‘extreme greed’ for several momentum names—an uptick that underscored how selective risk appetite is clustering around a small group of high-activity tokens.

On Upbit’s KRW market, Jito changed hands at 1,148 won, up 2.14% on the day. The token traded between an intraday high of 1,156 won and a low of 1,106 won, posting roughly 18.27 billion won in 24-hour turnover. Price action opened around 1,125 won, dipped early to test the day’s low, then recovered as incremental buying returned through the session, ending with a firm close relative to the lows.

While volatility was evident on the daily candle, the rebound from the session trough and the move back toward the 1,156-won area reflected a short-term tilt toward buyers. Traders often read this pattern—an early flush followed by sustained bid support—as a sign that dip demand is still active, particularly when accompanied by strong turnover.

Upbit’s coin-level Fear & Greed rankings showed Jito at the top of the ‘greed’ list with a score of 85. Worldcoin (WLD) followed at 82, while Stellar (XLM) and Meteora (MET2) were both at 80, and Bio Protocol (BIO) registered 79. On the opposite end, Alpha Quark (AQT) scored 4, with Aergo (AERGO) at 15, Sahara AI (SAHARA) at 18, Chiliz (CHZ) at 19, and Blur (BLUR) at 21—levels that typically indicate subdued participation or heightened caution around those names.

Among high-turnover tokens at the same time, Stellar traded at 353 won, down 0.28% despite leading the market in trading value, highlighting that heavy volume can coexist with mild selling pressure. XRP (XRP) rose 0.23% to 1,735 won, while Bitcoin (BTC) edged up 0.18% to 95,163,000 won. Worldcoin climbed 1.24% to 983 won, and Ethereum (ETH) slipped 0.08% to 2,580,000 won.

Jito is tied to Jito Network, a Solana ecosystem ‘liquid staking’ protocol designed to improve staking efficiency and capital flexibility—features that can appeal to traders seeking yield-bearing exposure without fully locking up assets. The token’s combination of elevated ‘greed’ readings and positive price performance placed it back among the day’s notable short-term gainers, while Worldcoin stood out for appearing near the top of both the sentiment and turnover tables.

Overall, the data pointed to a market where liquidity is concentrating in a handful of actively traded large-cap and narrative-driven tokens, with Jito’s bounce and strong activity suggesting that speculative interest remains intact—even as ‘very greedy’ sentiment readings raise the bar for follow-through in the sessions ahead.
