Overview
- After a 54% surge to an intraday high of $85.96 on Jan. 14, DASH was recently near $75 with a roughly 21% daily gain, outpacing Monero and Zcash.
- Trading activity accelerated, with daily volume up 72% and seven-day turnover rising 525% to about $1.29 billion.
- Derivatives flows amplified the move, as $770.22 million in forced liquidations were recorded over 24 hours, with 86.8% from short positions.
- Access improvements included Alchemy Pay enabling purchases in 173 countries via cards, Apple Pay and bank transfers, and an OKX relisting cited by an analyst for restoring depth.
- Technical signals turned mixed, with DASH reclaiming the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day EMAs even as On-Balance Volume divergence suggested the push lacked full confirmation.
