The tension on the pitch wasn’t the only thing rising during Fluminense’s high-stakes clash with Chelsea in the Club World Cup semifinal.

In the world of fan tokens, $FLU became a live reflection of the club’s performance, swinging with every goal conceded. With emotions running high and trading volumes spiking, the token painted a volatile picture as the game unfolded.

As the final whistle blew, $FLU told a different kind of scoreboard story—one written in price dips and fading volume.

$FLU Price Dips After Goals, Volume Swells Then Cools Off

As the match began, $FLU hovered around a stable range, showing little movement during the early hours of July 8. That calm was short-lived. After Chelsea netted the opening goal in the first half, $FLU reacted quickly, dipping by 0.67%. Trading volume simultaneously spiked by 10%, a clear sign that many investors were responding to the scoreline in real time.

But the bigger hit came in the second half. After Chelsea’s second goal, $FLU dropped even further—down 2.67% to $0.84. This time, the surge in trading interest faded fast. Volume shrank by 8.4%, showing a cool-off as some traders appeared to retreat rather than double down. At the time of writing, $FLU was still trading around the $0.84 mark.

Chart data supports this sentiment-driven swing. The token showed relatively flat movement through the night, then popped slightly leading into match kickoff—likely driven by fan optimism. But from around 16:00 onward, sharp climbs and steeper falls followed each match event, with the most noticeable drop occurring just after 19:00, right after Chelsea’s second strike.

For those watching both the match and the market, the FLU token’s behavior served as a reminder: when your token is tied to your team, every goal counts—sometimes in more ways than one.
