<p>The HOME price didn’t just wake up and decide to double overnight. The token surged more than 100% in the past 24 hours, climbing from $0.02800 to $0.05650 as traders piled into a rally that had been building for days.</p>
<p>The groundwork was laid after a May 26 <a href="https://x.com/defiapp/status/2059311168804507837?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a> highlighting the growing success of Rocket Perps, a product that DeFi App described as its highest-revenue launch to date despite still being in beta. More importantly, the project revealed that 80% of Rocket Perps revenue had been used to buy back HOME tokens, immediately giving traders a clear narrative to chase.</p>

<p>The timing couldn’t have been better. Alongside the buyback announcement, the team confirmed that the beta phase is ending and a full launch is scheduled for June 4. According to the project, the upcoming launch is expected to expand participation from hundreds of users to thousands.</p>

<p>Naturally, traders noticed.</p>
<p>As speculation around the launch grew, demand for HOME accelerated sharply across spot and derivatives markets.</p>

<p>The derivatives market painted an even clearer picture of the frenzy. Trading volume surged 321%, while open interest jumped 57% as fresh positions flooded into the market.</p>
<p>That influx of leverage created ideal conditions for volatility.</p>

<p>That imbalance points to a classic short squeeze, where bearish traders were forced to close positions as prices climbed.
