On the afternoon of January 18, 2026, at 14:59, market volatility was evident, with multiple trading opportunities worth noting in the short term.
**Leading Gainers**
BIFI led strongly, soaring 14.16% within one hour, with the price jumping from $181.5 directly to $207.2, a single increase of up to $25.70. Spot trading activity reached 17.35 times, and although there was some buying pressure, it was not enough to stop the upward momentum.
FRAX also performed impressively, ranking on the gainers list for two consecutive periods, rising 9.30% to $1.006. Interestingly, this time, both spot (volume 2.82x) and futures (volume 2.97x) were hot, with bulls holding the advantage (long-short ratio 1.19), and the funding rate was negative (-0.1617%), indicating potential for a significant move brewing.
RARE increased by 7.22% to $0.0312, with both spot and futures showing activity, and a long-short ratio of 1.73; RIVER was also not to be outdone, continuously on the list with a 6.56% increase, breaking through $25; LUMIA's gains were more moderate (4.13%), but a spot volume of 27.53x indicates high market participation.
**Decliners**
FHE led the decline, dropping 5.12% in one hour to $0.1468; SLP, BLUR, OL, NAORIS, and others experienced minor corrections, with declines in the 2-3% range. However, it is noteworthy that even among the declining assets, the proportion of long positions remained relatively high (long-short ratio above 1.5), suggesting overall market sentiment still leans bullish.
**Trading Tips**
Abnormal volume fluctuations in the short term often signal the start of new trends. The continuous appearance of FRAX and RIVER on the gainers list is worth monitoring. Additionally, keep an eye on changes in the futures funding rate and the long-short position ratios, as these data points can help assess risk levels.
