As a quant analyst in Chicago, I’ve seen my fair share of crypto volatility—but nothing like the 52% spike in Opulous (OPUL) within one hour.

In this deep dive, I break down the real drivers behind the surge using live data, behavioral patterns, and my own LSTM model tests. If you’re trading or analyzing DeFi tokens, this is how you spot the next big move before it happens.
