As of 1:23 a.m. EDT on April 18, RAVE\u2019s latest spike brought its weekly gains to more than 1,200% and more than 10,000% since April 1.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/rave\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"rave market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Although the price later retreated to just under $27, the jump saw RAVE\u2019s market capitalization rise to approximately $6.6 billion. In just a week, RAVE has moved from a micro-cap token to one of the 20 high-cap tokens tracked by Coingecko. Now ranked No. 19, RAVE has overtaken well-known tokens such as <span>XMR<\/span>, <span>XLM<\/span>, and ZEC, and appeared poised to glide past LINK at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>Rave\u2019s price action also triggered just over $19 million in leveraged position liquidations, wiping out nearly 16,000 traders within 24 hours. Liquidated shorts accounted for nearly $17 million of those positions; the single largest <span>liquidation<\/span> during the period was $161,505.<\/p>\n<p>However, Rave\u2019s astronomical rise continues to be dogged by controversy, particularly regarding the token\u2019s distribution. With only 248 million tokens out of a maximum supply of 1 billion in circulation, some critics warn that the distribution structure points to future stability problems. At current prices, tokens not in circulation are valued at $19.44 billion, a nearly 100-fold increase from just over $195 million on April 1.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In an April 13 <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Jeremybtc\/status\/2043739568537821572\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post<\/a> on X, Jeremy, an angel investor, raised similar concerns and drew attention to unusual token movements hours before RAVE\u2019s parabolic run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoughly 10 hours before the price exploded, wallets linked to the RaveDAO deployer quietly moved 18.58 million tokens to Bitget,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNo announcement.

Ten hours later, the price started moving, and it didn\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Centralization Red Flags<\/h2>\n<p>The investor further noted that open interest in RAVE futures ballooned past $200 million, a massive surge accompanied by a <span>relative strength index<\/span> ( <span>RSI<\/span>) that pierced the 95 level\u2014signaling an extremely overextended market. On the other hand, daily <span>trading volume<\/span> hit $270 million, effectively matching the project\u2019s entire market capitalization at the time.

Rather, he characterizes it as a calculated short squeeze engineered on a low-float asset.
