Micron beat and raised guidance, yet MUUSDT fell 2.58% this week
Micron beat expectations and raised guidance, which lifted sentiment across memory chips and the semiconductor supply chain. On Binance USDT-margined equity perpetual contracts, though, MUUSDT moved from 1089.86 USDT to 1061.73 USDT this week (from 2026-09-28), a weekly change of -2.58%. Over the same week, SNDKUSDT was -0.28%, WDCUSDT was 0.74% and DRAMUSDT was -2.35%. The headlines and the contract tape did not point the same way.

What the popular posts say
Popular posts on Square argue that Micron's beat and raised guidance are positive for memory-chip and semiconductor supply-chain sentiment, and that the DRAM and NAND price cycle may be turning up. Some posts group MUUSDT, SNDKUSDT, WDCUSDT and DRAMUSDT as different links in the same chain. Others caution that earnings and guidance are already-public information, and that contract prices reflect how the market chooses to price them afterwards, so a time gap is not unusual. A third view focuses on volatility, noting that single-day swings can be large around news, as on 2026-09-28 when MUUSDT was -3.07% and DRAMUSDT was -4.35%. These are paraphrases of popular posts on Square, not confirmed facts and not the view of this site.
Three plain truths
Gaps are not rare on these contracts; MUUSDT moved from 1089.86 USDT straight to 1056.41 USDT on 2026-09-28, leaving little time to react. High leverage magnifies single-day moves, and on 2026-09-28 MUUSDT was -3.07% while DRAMUSDT was -4.35%, so position size matters earlier than direction. Funding and holding costs accrue continuously, and the best week is a conclusion reached in hindsight: the 39.84% week of 2026-05-04 was only known after it finished.
Fees
The default Binance contract maker fee is 0.02% and the default taker fee is 0.05%. The rebate ratio is 20%. After the rebate, the effective maker fee is 0.016% and the effective taker fee is 0.04%. For active traders, the gap between 0.04% and 0.016% adds up over many entries and exits, so knowing the fee schedule before trading is basic homework.
