Quack AI (Q) gained more than 83% over 24 hours through 12:30 p.m. ET (16:30 UTC) Oct. 18, with market snapshots showing heavy futures activity and more dollar value in short than long liquidations. The 12:30 p.m. snapshot put Q’s 10-day gain at 661% and futures volume at 25.7 times spot volume. Open interest stood at 64% of Q’s market capitalization. These figures describe trading activity around the advance but do not identify what started it. An earlier liquidation snapshot, captured at 7:37 a.m. ET (11:37 UTC) and covering Binance Futures and Bybit, showed short liquidations of about $8.39 million, compared with $3.08 million in long liquidations. The figures measure dollar amounts in forced closures, not the rate at which positions closed. The imbalance is consistent with leveraged positioning amplifying the move, but does not establish that liquidations caused the rally.
