Key claims & sources

✓
ORCA was trading around $2.50, and one piece pointed to a $6.93 million liquidity cluster nearby.
✓
The same piece framed $2.50 as the level traders were watching in the session.
✓
ORCA reached $2.84 in another report.
✓
That report also said ORCA trading volume doubled to $384 million and derivatives volume climbed 239% to $616 million.

What it means

ORCA holders and traders would notice the move immediately because one report places the token near $2.50 with a $6.93 million liquidity cluster close by. That makes the current market setup visible to anyone watching the pair, especially around the FOMC minutes window.

In practice, the later report shows a market that traded much more actively than before, with spot volume at $384 million and derivatives volume at $616 million. What stays the same is that the token is still being tracked around the $2.50 level, even as activity around it is larger.
