The 24 prior observations spanning 9.5 hours reveal substantial premium volatility earlier in the period—ranging from -49.72 bps to +38.57 bps—with recent readings clustering in a narrower band. Liquidity has remained remarkably stable around $2.95 million across 30 DEX pools, supporting consistent 24-hour turnover of approximately 0.33x pooled capital. Transaction activity has moderated from peak hourly counts above 1,600 to 246 in the most recent hour, suggesting reduced speculative intensity.
