After falling to a low of $0.054, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) rebounded and reached a local high of $0.062 before retracing.
At press time, WLFI was trading at $0.059, up 8.3% in the last 24 hours. During the same period, trading volume jumped 207% to $88 million, reflecting renewed participation in the market.
Why is WLFI rising today?
World Liberty Financial’s rebound appears to come from two key developments.
First, AI Financial Corp, a major company investing in WLFI, said its outlook for the investment had improved.
The company said most of the challenges it previously warned investors about had been significantly alleviated. In May, AI Financial Corp warned it could cease trading within the next 12 months.
Despite this, the company disclosed a loss of $348 million on its crypto assets in the first quarter of 2026. It also reported operational losses as well as unrealized losses on its balance sheet. This change aligns with growing speculation around the USD1 ecosystem.
Speculation has hit the market, driven by the expansion of the USDI campaign.
World Liberty Financial also transferred 170 million from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), worth approximately $9.3 million, to Binance.
The move fueled speculation that Binance could extend its $1 yield drive. Traders also speculated that phase 6 of the USD1 event could continue.
On top of that, Gate announced a $1 campaign offering up to 20% lock-free APR. This added to bullish expectations across the market.
As speculation intensified, traders rushed to establish positions. Derivatives volume jumped 152.8% to $253 million, while open interest increased 11% to $200 million.
The rise in both indicators suggests that new capital entered the market as traders opened new positions. Historically, this activity has supported short-term price increases.
Can WLFI hold its recovery?
Despite the rebound, WLFI’s overall market structure remained weak. For starters, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained below the neutral level at 45.
The RSI has remained within this range for over 30 days, suggesting that bearish momentum continues to dominate. This left the sellers with the upper hand.
At the same time, WLFI has been trading below the short- and long-term moving averages, reinforcing the current downtrend.
Taken together, these indicators suggest that the bears were still in control of the market. If the weakness persists, WLFI could revisit $0.052.
However, if speculation continues to drive demand, WLFI could hold above $0.06. A sustained rise could open the door to $0.065, with $0.07 being the next major resistance level.
Final summary
- Binance campaign speculation appears to be the main catalyst for WLFI’s latest rebound.
- New derivatives activity suggests traders are expecting further upside despite the broader downtrend.
