SQD has recently performed quite impressively. As of December 25th, the price has been fluctuating around $0.07, with a 24-hour increase of 30-40%. Even more noteworthy is the hot activity in its derivatives market—open interest surged by 881% in 3 days, with a 7-day increase of 742%, indicating a very strong influx of capital. The current market cap is approximately $130 million, with an average daily trading volume exceeding $40 million, demonstrating good liquidity.

There are several factors supporting this rally. First, SQD, as a player in AI and Web3 data infrastructure, is perfectly positioned at the intersection of the two hottest sectors right now. Second, the acquisition of Rezolve AI adds to the project's growth potential. Looking at the roadmap, updates on real-time data streams and zero-knowledge proofs in 2026 are also worth期待.

Looking ahead to the next week, the market may follow three possible trajectories: in an optimistic scenario (40% probability), it could surge to the $0.08-$0.09 range, gaining 20-30%; in a conservative scenario (40% probability), the price may oscillate within $0.06-$0.07; in a pessimistic scenario (20% probability), holiday liquidity pressures could cause a pullback to $0.04-$0.05.

For participants, spot investors can gradually build positions at $0.05-$0.06, targeting $0.08, with a stop-loss set at $0.045; contract traders with a bullish outlook are advised to use 2-5x leverage with strict risk management. Regardless of the approach, it’s recommended that individual positions do not exceed 5% of the account, and close attention should be paid to changes in open interest, which is often an important leading indicator.
