Why ONDO’s Double-Digit Surge Still Hides Bearish Risks—And What It Means for Your Portfolio

ONDO's pumping double digits—but don't pop the champagne just yet.

Behind the green candles lurk risks that could flip the script faster than a leveraged trader's margin call.

The Hidden Pressures in the Pump

Even double-digit gains can mask underlying weakness. Whale movements, fading volume, and macro headwinds don’t just vanish because the chart looks good for a day.

When Momentum Isn’t Enough

Rallies built mostly on hype often crumble under their own weight. Sound familiar? It should—it’s crypto’s oldest story.

So yeah, enjoy the run-up. Just remember: in a market where “fundamentals” can mean anything from tokenomics to a meme tweet, today’s breakout can be tomorrow’s breakdown. Typical finance—overcomplicating the simple truth that sometimes things go down after they go up.

Key Takeaways

The launch of Fidelity’s FDIT on-chain money market fund highlighted ONDO’s growing list of top-tier asset manager partnerships, but the price movement in the coming days might not reflect intense bullishness.

Major asset managers continued to tokenize traditional financial products. Fidelity launched the Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT) on the 10th of September.

It is an on-chain money market fund backed by U.S. Treasuries, mostly from ONDO Finance’s [ONDO] Short-Term U.S. Treasuries Fund (OUSG) as the only anchor and largest investor.

In doing so, Fidelity joined BlackRock, WisdomTree, and Franklin Templeton in offering tokenized money market or Treasury funds. Since the OUSG launch in June 2023, Ondo Finance was one of the first tokens with on-chain access to U.S. Treasuries.

Over the past two days, ONDO has gained 14.1%, rallying from $0.95 to $1.08. Bitcoin [BTC] was up 3.3% and ethereum [ETH] climbed 5.4% during the same period, helping explain ONDO’s bullish sentiment.

However, technical analysis showed that the token was headed toward a supply zone, and traders and investors should be wary of a trend reversal.

The 1-day market structure was bullish, and the key swing high and low were marked in orange. They were at $1.17 and $0.85, respectively, while a range formation (white) was also identified. ONDO has traded within this range since July.

At the time of writing, the price was at a key supply zone from mid-August at $1.08. Another 7% move higher WOULD take ONDO to the range highs. However, it was unclear if the current move could reach the range highs.

The CMF on the daily timeframe was below -0.05, showing strong capital outflow from the market. Even though the MACD showcased bullish momentum, the seller dominance was not overthrown.

Therefore, ONDO swing traders should be on the lookout for a bearish trend reversal at $1.08 and $1.17.

Sustained buying pressure and high trading volume alongside a breakout past $1.17 would be a strong bullish signal in the coming weeks, but until then, the range formation would likely be respected.
