LayerZero has accumulated an 11.3% gain in the last session; its token ZRO trades at $1.96 per unit according to CoinMarketCap data at the time of writing.
Trading volume grew 37% to surpass $210 million, while market capitalization stands at around $765 million. The jump occurs in a context where traders in the perpetual contracts market maintain a markedly buy-leaning stance, although the accumulated selling pressure in the spot market raises questions about the sustainability of the rally.
The Perpetuals Market Drives LayerZero’s Rally
Total volume in the perpetual contracts market for LayerZero (ZRO) reached approximately $279 million in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data. The Long/Short ratio stood at 1.56, confirming that the majority of activity stems from long positions.
The open interest-weighted funding rate on Binance reached 0.0066%, an indicator that reinforces the bullish bias among traders in the market. Binance accounts for more than 32% of total volume, with $92.36 million traded, positioning it as the leading venue by activity in ZRO.
The behavior of different trader profiles on Binance reinforces the bullish picture. Retail traders show a buy ratio of 1.57, while whales —those controlling large volumes of capital— register a Long/Short ratio of 4.47. The so-called “smart money“, historically associated with more profitable bets, also maintains an extremely bullish stance.
Selling Pressure Threatens ZRO’s Gains
However, liquidation data warns of the risks of premature bullish positioning. In the last 24 hours, long traders on Binance accumulated losses of $74,380, compared to $47,500 on the short side. At the global market level, long positions lost more than $141,281 in the same period.
Net flow in the spot market adds $2.52 million in favor of sells in the most recent session. Extended over the past ten days, that cumulative figure rises to $9.07 million in net outflows, confirming that sellers have not left the market. This dynamic represents the main risk factor for the continuation of LayerZero’s rally in the short term.
