Jupiter sees fresh capital inflows
Interestingly, investors took the recent market weakness as an opportunity to deploy capital. On the Futures side, the altcoin recorded $25.01 million in inflows compared to $23.05 million in outflows.
As a result, its netflow rose 194.3% to $1.96 million, reflecting increased demand for Futures positions.

Meanwhile, the altcoin’s Open Interest rose 22% to $44.07 million, while Derivatives Volume climbed 53% to $101 million. A rise in these two metrics further validated increased demand for Futures positions.
However, market participants on Binance and OKX seem positioned for another pullback. This is because the altcoin’s Long/Short Ratio was held below 1, around 0.99, with Binance at 0.93 and OKX at 0.89.

A ratio below 1 indicates a higher demand for short positions, suggesting most participants expect another slip.
Is the upside momentum sustainable?
Jupiter showed strong momentum, as investors jumped into the market to accumulate at a discount following the recent broader market slip.
As a result, the altcoin’s upside momentum strengthened. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) rose to 55, edging into bullish territory.
At the same time, the price flipped EMA20 and is currently testing EMA50, indicating strong upside momentum.
When these momentum indicators reach such levels, it signals buyer confidence and often follows higher prices.

Therefore, if the prevailing sentiment holds and more capital flows, JUP will flip EMA50 at $0.17, flip $0.2, and eye EMA100 at $0.21.
However, this bullish outlook faces a major risk and could hinder a possible trend continuation. On the spot market, after Jupiter rebounded, investors who had been underwater rushed to cash out.

The altcoin’s exchange inflow outpaced outflows, as Spot Netflow climbed 145% to $677k. The market recorded $5.6 million in inflows compared to $4.9 million in outflows.
If this selling spree continues and intensifies, a market pullback remains imminent. Thus, JUP could drop to $0.14 again before attempting another pullback.
Final Summary
- JUP surged 17%, touching a local high of $0.176 amid broader market recovery.
- Jupiter saw renewed speculative demand, but the pullback threat remained as profit takers rushed to cash out.
