$QQQ is sitting on a offer wall near $680 that is 3.4x the average band around it.
Funding is +0.0167%, so longs are paying to hold; open interest is -1.22% in the last hour and +0.55% over four; and bids hold 40% of visible depth. So the offers are soaking market buys while leveraged longs keep paying funding to stay long - the crowd is financing the side the book is absorbing. The book, not the last candle, is the tell here.
Which side is trapped here - the leveraged crowd paying funding, or the passive size absorbing them?
