Deep Dive
1. V2 Upgrade Anticipation (Bullish Impact)
Overview: MYX Finance’s V2 upgrade, expected in weeks, promises zero-slippage trading, cross-chain interoperability, and portfolio margin features. The team’s social media teases like “V2 is closer than you think” (MYX Finance) fueled speculation.
What this means: Traders are pricing in potential adoption growth, as V2 could position MYX as a competitor to centralized exchanges. The platform’s 24h trading volume surged 710% to $354M, reflecting optimism.
What to look out for: Confirmed V2 launch date and early user feedback on new features.
2. Short Squeeze Dynamics (Bullish Impact)
Overview: Coinglass data shows $14.63M in liquidations over 24h (8 September), with $11M from short positions. MYX’s price broke past $3.69, triggering cascading buybacks.
What this means: High leverage (up to 50× on MYX) amplified the squeeze. The funding rate adjustment to every 4 hours on Binance (11 August) increased volatility, trapping bears.
What to look out for: Open interest trends – a decline could signal reduced squeeze fuel.
3. Overbought Technicals & Unlock Risks (Bearish Caution)
Overview: MYX’s 14-day RSI hit 96.21 (above 70 = overbought), while its price sits near Fibonacci extension levels ($18.02–$27.80). Meanwhile, 39M MYX tokens ($59M) unlocked recently, with VC firm Hack VC selling $2.15M worth (7 August).
What this means: While momentum is strong, RSI divergence and unlock-driven sell pressure risk a sharp correction. Historically, MYX retraced 58% after a similar unlock event in August.
Conclusion
MYX’s rally combines organic hype for its V2 upgrade and a derivatives-driven short squeeze, but unsustainable RSI levels and token unlocks introduce downside volatility.
Key watch: Can MYX hold above the $11.20 Fibonacci support if profit-taking accelerates?
