On October 1, 2026, the cryptocurrency market is showing dynamic movements of individual altcoins amidst complex signals from macroeconomic indicators. The US 10-year Treasury yield stands at 5.26% and the 2-year Treasury yield at 4.89%, maintaining high interest rate levels, while the dollar index remains strong at 120.33. This environment of high interest rates and a strong dollar is traditionally interpreted as a factor that can burden risk assets.
In the US stock market, the S&P 500 fell by -0.21% while the NASDAQ 100 rose by +0.25%, showing mixed trends. The VIX fear index remains relatively stable at 16.94, but the burden of rising long-term Treasury yields still exists. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization recorded $2.8739 trillion, with 24-hour trading volume at $108.4 billion, and BTC dominance at 58.28%. Bitcoin (BTC) showed sideways movement, falling by -0.11% in 24 hours and -0.88% in 7 days to $83,541.0. Ethereum (ETH) saw a slight increase of +0.26% in 24 hours and +0.36% in 7 days to $2,683.68. Ripple (XRP) fell by -0.08% in 24 hours to $1.49, indicating that major assets are generally entering a consolidation phase.
Despite this backdrop, market investor sentiment remains in the 'Greed' phase, with the Fear & Greed Index recording 74 (Greed). This suggests that an optimistic view of the overall market still prevails, despite the sideways movement of major assets. The BTC Open Interest in the Binance USDT-M futures market was recorded as $0.0, which can be interpreted as a data anomaly, making it difficult to ascertain the position structure of the BTC futures market.
Today, several altcoins showed remarkable surges in the Binance USDT-M futures market. These movements may reflect a concentration of market liquidity into specific themes or individual assets. We analyzed the position structures of the major rising assets to understand their characteristics.
MOVRUSDT recorded an astonishing increase of +74.21% over the past 24 hours, drawing significant market attention. The trading volume during the same period reached $784.5 million, but the Open Interest (OI) was relatively low at around $8.1 million. The funding rate remained slightly positive at +0.01%, but it was not high enough to signal overheating.
Looking at the daily data, after a +29.13% rise on September 29, it surged by +74.17% on September 30, showing strong buying pressure for two consecutive days. However, today (October 1) recorded a -0.00% change with an extremely low trading volume of $414,000, giving the impression that the surge has paused. This suggests the possibility that buying pressure has subsided after a short-term price surge. The fact that OI is low compared to trading volume increases the likelihood that a combination of short-term speculative buying and short covering, rather than continuous inflow of new long positions, has played a role.
USUSDT surged by +58.36% in 24 hours, showing high volatility. Open Interest (OI) is substantial at $724.2 million, and the funding rate is also very high at +0.07%. This is a strong signal indicating an excessive concentration of long positions.
Recent daily charts show extreme volatility with a sharp rebound of +58.53% on September 30 after a -44.72% drop on September 29. Today (October 1), it recorded a -0.09% drop with a negligible trading volume of $112,000, indicating a halt in its upward momentum. A high funding rate can increase liquidation pressure on long positions if prices continue to rise, and it can act as a factor increasing the likelihood of a short-term pullback. In other words, it appears to be a mixed situation of short squeezes and new long inflows, but the current overheating needs to be watched with caution.
AGTUSDT rose by +35.03% in 24 hours. Open Interest (OI) recorded $298.9 million, and 24-hour trading volume was $37.8 million. The funding rate remained positive at +0.03%, indicating a long position dominance, but not as excessive as USUSDT.
Daily data shows a strong rise of +35.23% on September 30, and today (October 1) recorded a -0.17% drop with an extremely low trading volume of $15,000. This suggests that after yesterday's surge, buying pressure is almost non-existent, and it may have entered a short-term price exhaustion or correction phase. However, significant OI exists, so it may not be simply a pump.
NIGHTUSDT rose by +21.17% in 24 hours, with a 24-hour trading volume of $68.9 million and Open Interest (OI) of $244.2 million. A peculiarity is that the funding rate shows a negligible negative value of -0.00%. Generally, during strong uptrends, funding rates tend to be positive.
Daily charts show a continuous uptrend with +12.95% on September 29 and +20.89% on September 30. Today (October 1), it rose by +0.23% with a low trading volume of $15,000. A negative funding rate suggests that short positions still exist in the market, and their liquidation may be fueling the price increase, indicating a short squeeze scenario. In other words, despite the price increase, selling pressure may remain in the futures market, or futures participants may maintain a skeptical view of the rally.
SOONUSDT maintained its top position, rising by +19.33% in 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume was relatively high at $368.3 million, but Open Interest (OI) was lower compared to trading volume at $63.6 million. The funding rate was positive at +0.05%, suggesting an inflow of new long positions.
The daily trend shows a steady rise over several days: +42.97% on September 27, +33.04% on September 29, and +19.42% on September 30. Today (October 1), it fell by -0.10% with a low trading volume of $83,000, indicating a pause in the upward momentum. The relatively low OI compared to trading volume suggests that, similar to MOVRUSDT, short-term trading was active. A decrease in trading volume after continuous rises can be considered a time to be wary of the possibility of forming a short-term peak.
Other rising assets, including MONUSDT(+18.38%), STXUSDT(+17.97%), CAPUSDT(+15.88%), PHAUSDT(+11.68%), and SOMIUSDT(+11.52%), also generally showed positive funding rates, suggesting a potential inflow of short-term buying pressure. Particularly, MONUSDT maintains a high Open Interest (OI) of $1.2 billion, indicating that a significant volume of positions has been established. However, in the case of PHAUSDT, given its extremely high volatility over 7 days (+70.50% on September 25, -17.55% on September 27), caution regarding rapid price changes seems necessary.
Today, the Binance USDT-M futures market saw certain altcoins surge with high volatility while Bitcoin and Ethereum moved sideways. This can be interpreted as the overall market 'greed' sentiment concentrating on low-liquidity or catalyst-driven altcoins. However, for assets like MOVRUSDT and USUSDT that showed rapid increases in a short period, low OI relative to trading volume or extreme funding rates were observed, warranting caution against short-term pullback scenarios. Conversely, for assets like NIGHTUSDT, which showed negative funding rates, the possibility of a short squeeze cannot be ruled out, requiring a more complex approach.
Ultimately, the current market is likely experiencing a selective rotational rally where outcomes vary based on the supply/demand and position structure of individual altcoins rather than the direction of major assets. Therefore, it is crucial for general investors to approach cautiously, thoroughly analyzing the fundamentals and on-chain data of individual assets rather than engaging in excessive chase buying. In particular, overheated funding rates and rapid fluctuations in trading volume can be signals of a short-term peak, requiring careful monitoring.
While major cryptocurrencies moved sideways, some altcoins experienced sharp rises with high volatility. This is interpreted as market 'greed' concentrating on individual assets, but overheated funding rates and trading volume trends suggest the possibility of a short-term pullback. High risk should be acknowledged, and a cautious approach is required for new entries.
