Cashio's scanner rated the issue as Medium and suggested ignoring it, whereas Wormhole's similar vulnerability was rated Critical. This inconsistency highlights how tools can misjudge severity even when detecting the underlying pattern. The findings emphasize that unauthenticated initializers in validation chains pose significant risks. Both protocols were patched years ago, and this analysis serves as a retrospective on scanner reliability.

Wormhole (W) trades at $0.009310 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 54.9%, indicating a slight majority of buyers over the full day. However, shorter intervals show weakening momentum, with the 1-hour and 4-hour buy ratios dropping to 45.2% and 43.5% respectively.

Volume deltas reflect this shift, turning negative in the 1-hour (-$3,058) and 4-hour (-$10,731) windows. While the 24-hour volume delta remains positive at +$90,517, the recent outflow indicates short-term sellers are gaining control. The CVD of +$31,460 confirms net buying over the day, but the intraday reversal points to caution.
