This marks a notable regime change from the 11.5-hour baseline period, during which the token exhibited persistent positive premiums averaging 15.3 bps and reaching as high as +35.9 bps. The premium compression and subsequent discount formation occurred alongside a $21,621 contraction in DEX liquidity, now at $702,432. The 24-hour volume of $986,291 implies 1.4x liquidity turnover, suggesting active price discovery. Supply remains stable at 229,638.2 tokens, with top five holders accounting for 43.4% of circulation.
