Today’s hot tokens—only look at these few. Funds clearly clumped into highly elastic picks. The top three all gained more than 35%, but the order-book structure differences are huge.
ON rose 65.6%, trading volume was 334 million, open interest jumped in sync by 86.2%—not a no-volume pulse. The active buy orders have a slight edge. Surprisingly, short accounts are actually more in number. The follow-through near 0.32333 is worth watching.
COTI rose 59.1%, trading volume reached 566 million, and open interest surged 815.5%—the most extreme influx of capital across the entire market. Funding rate is as low as -0.113%. Shorts are still bleeding high fees to hold the line. The longer this structure drags on, the more likely it continues to squeeze.
BULLA rose 35.0%, open interest increased by 45.0%, and active buys stayed strong, with trading volume also expanding. However, long accounts have already clearly taken the lead. Funding rate climbed to 0.081%. It’s hot, but crowding is rising too. SNXX fell 28.6%, yet open interest increased by 43.8%, and the long accounts’ share is as high as 3.27. The lower the price goes, the more positions get stacked, and longs are still paying fees. This looks more like liquidation pressure has not fully released.
Overall, the atmosphere is strong capital集中冲击—concentrating into a small number of high-volatility coins. First, watch COTI’s extreme incremental positioning, then see whether ON can continue its momentum in terms of trading. Ranks 4 to 10 are, in order: SOON up 25.9%, VANRY up 24.7%, PHAROS up 23.2%, DEXE up 18.2%, TAIKO up 13.9%, BTW up 13.5%, and GWEI up 13.0%.
Among the squeeze candidates, COTI’s shorts are bearing the most extreme costs. ON and BULLA have a strong structure with rapidly increasing open interest. Among the short-squeeze (longs) candidates, only SNXX stands out: it has a high long-account ratio combined with counter-trend adding. During the early-morning session, you still need to watch whether this liquidation squeeze continues. $ON $COTI $SNXX #合约市场 #Order-book observation

Contract Order Book Daily|7/28 The sell side is pressing down; longs have not been cleared
In the evening, the abnormal activity was concentrated in $BTC : mark price $63,396.1, down 1.96%; open interest fell to $6.669 billion, continuing to drop by 1.4%.
Price and open interest are declining in sync, indicating leverage is being withdrawn—not new money is stepping in to absorb the drop.
Longs still account for 65%, and the aggressive buy/sell ratio is only 0.8. Aggressive sell volume is outweighing buy volume.
Yet the funding rate remains at +0.0064%, meaning longs are still paying for their positions.
The Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 29, with sentiment already turning rather cool, but the crowded long positions have not been fully cleared.
Last week, $ETH spot ETF purchases totaled $103.9 million, about 3 times that of Bitcoin’s comparable ETF category at $33.7 million.
However, $ETH ’s mark price is still down 2.21%, the funding rate is near zero, and spot inflows have not yet translated into futures/contract buy-side demand.
Altcoins have not shown a broad rotation either. Funds look more like they’re locally concentrated rather than a full-scale rebound in risk appetite.
$SOL is down 2.72%, with the funding rate falling to -0.0071%.
Shorts have started paying, but price remains weak. A negative funding rate can only indicate that more short positions have opened—it cannot directly be taken as a reversal signal.
The risk of a pullback in yen-carry trade capital driven by the Bank of Japan meeting is still present.
The risk boundary is clear: only when the aggressive buy/sell ratio returns above 1, and price and open interest increase in sync, can we say buyers have absorbed the pressure. If the aggressive buy/sell ratio remains below 1 and longs keep a high share, liquidation pressure has not been resolved.

Bearish morning high-distribution warning from about 14 hours ago. In the 2nd review: among 3 contracts, 0 were closed out, 2 had pullbacks, 1 saw price oscillation/dragging—so far, none have broken out of a one-way downtrend.
Initial watch recap: the chips are dispersed.
COTI: a pullback; the morning bearish setup was clearly weakened. After the first call, the price rebounded by 10.13%, which runs counter to the direction of the warning. Open interest increased by 83.76%; the active buy/sell order side saw only a slight decline, and support has not yet clearly thinned.
REZ: a pullback; price also did not follow through in the morning bearish direction. After the first call, the price rebounded by 6.21%, suggesting the pullback has not yet been confirmed. However, active buy/sell orders fell by 0.20 to 0.71, meaning chasing momentum is fading, but it is still not enough to define as one-way weakness.
AERO: oscillation/dragging; price is somewhat weak, but the bearish case still needs further confirmation. Compared with the first call, the price dropped by 2.06%; open interest fell by 8.65%, indicating some positions are being withdrawn. But active buy/sell order volume rose from 0.50 to 0.98, and the active buying side actually recovered—so it cannot be counted as profit-taking/closing out in a hard sense.
Next, jointly watch whether price can continue to weaken, accompanied by active buying declining and support thinning—this is what would further confirm the pullback. If the pullback continues while open interest and active buying also rise in sync, the morning high-level distribution warning would need to be reconsidered.

A bullish morning recap from about 12 hours ago: among the 3 contracts being watched, 0 broke out, 1 fizzled out, and 2 are still tugging without taking it through.
The chips are shrinking.
ACH: Fizzled out—didn’t break through on the bullish morning view. After the first entry, the price fell 6.65%, and the trend is already opposite to the original direction. Open interest increased by 41.66%, but the aggressive buy side still hasn’t gained the upper hand; the added positions haven’t translated into a price push upward.
APE: Tugs and pulls. Price has slightly continued, but the capital structure hasn’t formed a bullish confirmation. After the first entry, the price rose 1.20%, but the move isn’t large enough to prove the continuation of the rally. The ratio of aggressive buy vs. sell dropped from 1.53 to 0.68; aggressive buyers clearly weakened, and open interest only increased by 3.89%.
ALLO: Tugs and pulls—bullish expectations lagged for the morning. After the first entry, the price pulled back 2.30%, and open interest fell in sync by 6.02%, suggesting the follow-through wasn’t enough. Aggressive buying is present, but price and open interest aren’t moving in the same direction; it can’t be counted as a breakout for now.
Next, jointly watch whether price can turn into an upward move, whether open interest can sync to provide support, and whether aggressive buying can continue to hold an advantage. If price keeps weakening and open interest/aggressive buys don’t line up, that’s a refutation of the bullish morning outlook; only when all three realign in the same direction can we confirm this move is still on. # Contract recap

Check the top 3 gainers this morning now—after 8 hours, only one has been fulfilled, while the other two are still being pulled back and forth.
COTI: Choppy trading; after the initial listing, the price fell 1.41%, yet open interest increased by 38.21%. New positions haven’t led to a one-sided confirmation, and disagreement between long and short is still building.
ON: Fulfilled; after the initial listing, the price kept rising by 16.79%, and open interest increased in tandem by 30.64%. Price and open interest expanded in the same direction, but the current relative strength indicator has reached 69.3—watch for how well it holds up at the high end going forward.
AKE: Choppy trading; after the initial listing, the price dropped 0.48%, while open interest decreased by 0.49%. Both price and open interest lack follow-through, and no clear direction has formed yet.
Next, the key is whether price and open interest can continue moving in the same direction. If open interest rises rapidly but the price stalls, the risk of short-term volatility may increase. #Futures Contract Recap

About 6 hours ago, morning bearish warning and high-level distribution—post-analysis: In 3 contracts, COTI and REZ rebounded, AERO is still getting tugged back and forth, and for now none have broken cleanly into a one-sided decline. Initial release observation recap: The positioning has dispersed.
COTI: A rebound—morning bearishness hasn’t been fully realized yet. After the initial release, the price rebounded by 16.9%, and open interest increased in sync by 56.26%, indicating that new positions are still driving volatility and that the bid-side/absorption hasn’t thinned out significantly.
REZ: A rebound as well, further weakening the morning bearish judgment. After the initial release, the price rebounded by 14.23%, and open interest rose by 32.11%, suggesting that momentum continues to build and there hasn’t been a clear exit by active buy orders.
AERO: Getting tugged—no unilateral down move confirmation yet. Compared with the initial release, the price is only up 0.34%, but active buy/sell order pressure has risen to 1.21, indicating that bulls and bears are still in a standoff; for now, you can’t treat the ranging as bearish fulfillment.
Next, collectively watch whether the price can turn weaker, along with a decline in open interest and active buy/sell pressure, to confirm this pullback. If the rebound continues with volume expanding further, open interest keeps increasing, or active buy pressure remains strong, then the morning high-level distribution warning will need to be revisited.

About 5 hours ago, morning bullish pullback watch recap: 3 are currently still pulling and tugging, 0 have broken out, and 3 haven’t been picked up.
Initial watch recap: the chips are still gathering.
ACH: Pulling and tugging. The morning bullish bias has shown slight continuation, but it hasn’t turned into a clear upward move yet. After the initial watch, the price rose by 1.42%, indicating the direction hasn’t yet weakened. Open interest increased by 3.20%, and the aggressive buy volume also strengthened compared with the initial watch, but the increases in price and open interest are still not enough to form one-sided confirmation.
APE: Pulling and tugging. The price moves along the bullish direction, but the order book momentum is lagging. After the initial watch, the price rose by 1.60%, meaning the bullish direction hasn’t been disproven. The ratio of aggressive buy/sell orders decreased by 0.40 from the initial watch. Although open interest increased, the cooling of aggressive buying weakens the ability to continue.
ALLO: Pulling and tugging. There is some price performance for the morning bullish setup, but new open positions haven’t been adding pressure in sync. After the initial watch, the price rose by 1.52%, and the trend is still trying upward. Open interest increased by only 0.65%. Aggressive buy/sell is still skewed toward the sell side, and the price plus capital structure hasn’t formed one-sided confirmation yet.
Next, we should jointly watch whether the price can keep pushing higher, whether open interest can expand in tandem, and whether aggressive buying can continue to lead. If the price stalls, open interest can’t keep up, and aggressive buying continues to weaken, then this morning bullish setup will need to be rechecked as the disproof.

Daily Contract Order Book|7/28 Sellers have the upper hand; longs are still crowded
Midday anomalies centered on $BTC : the marked price was 63,238.6, down 3.13%, with open interest falling to $6.713 billion, a 1.4% decrease. Price and open interest declined in tandem, suggesting leverage is being withdrawn; however, the buy/sell imbalance is only 0.87, and sell orders from the market side still dominate. What needs even more caution is that the long share remains at 64%; the positions have not been cleared into a comfortable range.
Funding rates have already turned cooler. $BTC is -0.0022%, $ETH is -0.0049%, and $SOL is even lower at -0.0117%. Of these, $SOL has a marked price of 73.2, down 4.21%, with the heaviest funding paid by shorts. The weak structure has not been reversed yet; but as negative funding rates continue to widen, pullbacks will harm short-chasing positions even faster.
For external variables, first watch the Fed decision. The market assigns a 27% probability to a July rate hike; rate expectations may further amplify contract volatility. The U.S. Senate has postponed its crypto market-structure bill, so there is less near-term regulatory-progress catalyst. Trump released AI-generated images of an “attack on Iranian oil terminals.” Attention is high, but it’s not an actual attack and it does not directly mention any specific token.
The Fear & Greed Index is only 29—sentiment is already leaning toward fear, yet long positions remain crowded. The risk boundaries are clear: if the buy/sell imbalance continues to stay below 1 while open interest stops falling and begins to rebound, any new leverage is more likely to amplify the selloff. If negative funding rates expand while price stops making new lows, that’s when you need to raise vigilance against a squeeze on shorts.

Contract 24h Gainers Ranking · In-Depth Breakdown of the Top 3
Here are the top 3 on Binance’s contract 24-hour gainers list right now—an early-morning quick rundown for those monitoring the charts.
Since no previous snapshot is provided, this time we won’t add historical signals. We mainly use the 24-hour performance and recent 1-hour position changes to verify whether the strength is continuing.
COTI leads with a 58.18% rise, with 24-hour trading volume of about $131 million. Approx. position size: $6.3998 million; up 448.8% over 24 hours. It also continues to rise 4.6% in the last hour, so the add-to-position state is still ongoing. Funding rate is -0.3189%, with 3 consecutive rounds of shorts paying. The contract premium rate is -1.7579% as well—price is moving upward while negative premium persists.
ON is up 48.42%, with 24-hour trading volume of about $162 million. Approx. position size: $10.8489 million; up 117.2% over 24 hours. However, in the last hour it fell 4.6%, suggesting that short-term add-to-position continuity has weakened. The ratio of active buy to sell is 1.08, but the funding rate is 0.0458%, and it has been positive with 8 consecutive rounds of longs paying.
AKE is up 40.61%. Its 24-hour trading volume is about $648 million—the highest among the three. Approx. position size: $35.1057 million; down 24.3% over 24 hours, but up 6.3% in the last hour. Long- and short-term position changes move in opposite directions. The active buy/sell ratio is 1.08, but the long/short account ratio is 0.56, meaning the long-side accounts account for only 36%. The order-book structure still shows clear differentiation.
All three currently have a bullish super-trend, but for contracts on the gainers list, it’s generally important to watch for pullbacks at higher levels and for rapid changes in open positions. For the next step, jointly observe whether the position size in the last hour continues to align, and whether the funding rate and the contract premium rate further diverge. Attention tags: #COTI #ON #AKE #Contract order book.

Contracts that could potentially see a sharp rise today
Bias: bullish.
On this chart, I’m watching the 24-hour price performance of ACH, APE, and ALLO—all are trending upward in line with the move, with gains exceeding 3.5%. However, there’s divergence between open interest and the order flow of active buys/sells.
Next, we need to monitor whether the price strength can continue, and whether open interest and active buys can keep confirming.
ACH current price: 0.004379. Up 3.57% in the past 24 hours. The technical trend remains upward, and the funding rate is -0.0158%, with a 1 consecutive period of short-side funding.
The chips are tightening/being concentrated.
Price is consistent with the technical direction. The counter-signal is that open interest fell 0.3% over 24 hours and 1.7% over the last hour—incremental confirmation is currently insufficient.
APE current price: 0.1496. Up 4.47% in the past 24 hours. Trading volume is about $14.9229 million, with an active buy/sell ratio of 1.53—active buys are dominant.
The chips are tightening/being concentrated.
Price strength and active order flow are cooperating, but the counter-signal is that the technical trend is still downward; the structure hasn’t fully turned stronger yet.
ALLO current price: 0.34354. Up 4.5% in the past 24 hours. Open interest increased 1.0% over 24 hours and 2.5% over the last hour. The technical trend remains upward.
The chips are tightening/being concentrated.
Price is strengthening in sync with open interest. The counter-signal is that the active buy/sell ratio is only 0.95—active buys have not yet gained an advantage.
If the price move in the current direction continues to hold, then APE’s active buy strength and ALLO’s open-interest increase can keep confirming, and if ACH manages to stop the open-interest pullback, this line can continue. If the price turns weaker, active buy momentum fades, or open interest keeps falling, then this direction needs to be re-evaluated.

Drift down and slip back. These coins’ prices may still be going up, but the structure has already loosened. Don’t just look at the green percentage increase numbers. What you fear is not that it doesn’t rise, but that as it keeps rising, the follow-through/acceptance thins out. Next, watch whether a pullback appears, and whether the thinning of follow-through can be confirmed.
COTI: Up 42.98%, open interest over the past 24 hours increased by 424.0%, and the perpetual contract premium is -3.1265%. The price still shows gains, but the structure has loosened. Rapid inflows of positions combined with a clearly negative premium can easily punish chasing-higher buyers with both a rebound and a pullback at the same time. The chips are dispersed. The counterpoint is that the super trend is still rising.
REZ: Up 1.65%, open interest over the past 24 hours increased by 33.6%, but in the most recent 1 hour it decreased by 5.8%. The retail long share reaches 67%. The price is still rising, but the structure has loosened. In the short term, positions are pulling back and the long structure is becoming crowded. Next, watch whether the price turns down. The chips are dispersed. The counterpoint is that the super trend is still rising.
AERO: Up 2.17%, the buy/sell ratio from active trading is only 0.5, and open interest over the past 24 hours decreased by 2.2%, with the most recent 1 hour decreasing by 4.5%. The price is still rising, but the structure has loosened. Active sell orders dominate and positions continue to decline—so follow-through/support pressure is even more worth watching. The chips are dispersed. The counterpoint is that the super trend is still rising.
If the follow-through keeps thinning, the pullback line is already forming. If it re-accumulates volume and holds steady, then this judgment needs to be reassessed.

Contract Order Book Daily|7/28 Sell-side dominance, longs not fully cleared
The hardest anomaly in the morning was $BTC : the price fell 2.63%, open interest decreased 1.2% to $6.708 billion, and the ratio of aggressive buy/sell orders was only 0.62. This looks like leveraged withdrawal combined with aggressive selling dominance, yet longs still account for 61%, and the funding rate remains at +0.007%—positions have not fully flipped to defense. Before the aggressive buy/sell ratio returns above 1, the sell-pressure signal is not considered invalid.
The market’s Fed-hike probability is forecast at 27%, which is more sensitive for a contract structure that is still net long. If that probability keeps rising, the positive funding rate and the 61% long share will amplify liquidation pressure; only if the probability clearly falls will this risk boundary be considered lifted.
Reports say the Iran–U.S. negotiations have paused the attacks; oil prices immediately dropped by about 8%, giving risk assets an added layer of cushion. However, $BTC has not yet seen follow-up buying from aggressive bids—only the aggressive buy/sell ratio returning above 1. This bullish factor only counts as truly entering the contract order book once it is confirmed by aggressive buying.
In tail positions, the funding rate for $COTI hit -2.0%, with the highest level of short crowding. If the funding rate repairs toward zero but price does not bounce, the risk of a short squeeze weakens; if price lifts first while the funding rate remains deeply negative, the forced-liquidation chain is more likely to be triggered.

Open interest grew 122.6% and 302.3%—and they also appeared at the top of the gainers, with morning funds clearly concentrated in a small number of high-volatility coins.
Today’s hot tokens—only look at these.
$ON +52.5%, current price 0.19095, open interest surged 122.6%. Trading volume reached $135 million, and the price is already near the 24-hour high of 0.1988—this isn’t a pulse without volume.
$AKE +48.8%, trading volume is as high as $534 million, making it the most active one by volume among the top three. But during the rally, open interest actually fell 16.1%, suggesting that the declines are driven by substantial position reduction—going forward, we need to see whether new open interest can keep up.
$COTI +42.6%, the funding rate is down to -2.0%, and open interest exploded 302.3%. The cost borne by shorts has become extremely adverse; even as price rises, large positions continue to pour in. The longer this structure persists, the more likely it is to keep squeezing.
Ranks 4 through 10 are BULLA up 26.2%, BROCCOLIF3B up 22.0%, TAG up 20.1%, SOON up 17.2%, PEOPLE up 15.7%, MINIMAX up 12.5%, and SOXS up 12.5%. On the downside: EUL down 27.8%, SNXX down 26.6%, ESP down 25.2%. Among these, SNXX bucked the trend with open interest up 38.2%, and the divergence between longs and shorts is still widening.
Overall, funds are clustering around a few names with both active trading and open-interest increases. COTI’s short-squeeze structure is the most extreme; for ON, we’ll need to see whether high-level open interest continues to expand. In the morning, focus on whether COTI’s extreme negative funding rate is converging, and whether ON can sustain its momentum after approaching the 24-hour high.
$ON $AKE $COTI #Contract market

Coins whose positions doubled in a single day while also occupying the top two spots in price gains—clearly, the funds are being squeezed into a small number of highly volatile order books. BROCCOLIF3B and ON have both been screened into the squeeze-candidate list, but the positive funding rate also indicates that longs are paying; the float has already started to get crowded.
BROCCOLIF3B is up 56.3%, with open interest surging 120.3%; the active buy orders still outweigh the sell orders. The price is not far from the high at 0.009682—long and short accounts are nearly balanced, and what to watch next is whether new positions can continue to absorb. ON is up 50.1%, with trading volume of $112 million; open interest has increased in step by 111.4%—not a pulse with no volume.
Short-holder accounts lean long, but active buy orders are dominant; this mismatch makes its subsequent order book more worth monitoring.
AKE is up 35.2%, with trading volume reaching $509 million—among the top three, it has the most solid liquidity. However, when the price rises, open interest actually falls by 16.6%; it looks more like position exits driven by existing holdings, unlike the incremental-funding structure behind the first two.
From ranks 4 to 10: LA is up 33.7%, TAG up 23.9%, BULLA up 21.8%, 4 up 20.2%, SOXS up 17.0%, IRYS up 16.7%, and PUMP up 15.1%. On the other side, BANK is down 32.1%, SNXX down 26.5%, and EUL down 25.9%—the strength/weakness split is very direct. Overall, it’s not a broad-based spread; instead, funds are crowding into a few names that have both active trading and increasing open interest. Focus on whether the growth rates of positions in BROCCOLIF3B and ON can continue.

Contract Order Book Daily|7/27 Deleveraging Continues; Buying Pressure Still Weak
The previous signal was that longs were crowded and leverage was falling. This set of late-session data did not show a reversal.
On $BTC , it rose to $64,723—up only 0.06%—while open interest fell to $6.746B, down 2.1% from the prior value. This suggests the rebound did not bring in new incremental leverage.
Longs still account for 60%. The ratio of passive-to-active buy/sell orders is only 0.89, indicating stronger seller initiative. The Fear-of-Greed index at 30 also shows that risk appetite has not yet recovered.
Reports that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran led to a pause in strike actions helped calm external risks. Nasdaq futures rose as much as 1.2%, while crude oil fell 8%.
However, $BTC reacted only mildly to this news, implying that the current price is more constrained by position cleanup than by external sentiment.
U.S. inflation and interest-rate expectations remain the next source of volatility. External sentiment improving does not mean the contract structure has already turned stronger.
$ETH rose 1.9%, outperforming $BTC , but the funding rate has already turned positive.
Meanwhile, Lido is migrating $16.5B worth of staked Ether and plans to reduce the number of validators by one-third. This is a staking-structure adjustment; it cannot be directly treated as sell pressure, but you still need to watch whether the migration process results in an increase in hedged positions.
The risk boundaries are clear.
If open interest continues to decline and the long proportion remains stuck near 60%, deleveraging is not over.
Only when active buying regains dominance—and open interest and price rise in sync—can the view that “the rebound lacks incremental funds” be overturned.
Another local anomaly: RIF’s funding rate is as low as -0.935%. Shorts are already clearly crowded. If price bounces back, short-squeeze volatility could be more intense than in the broader market.

A recap of the morning “high-level distribution observation · bearish” from about 13 hours ago: 1 out of 3 was cashed out; EUL has clearly weakened. LA and LINK are still in a tug-of-war—no one-way downside move has been confirmed yet.
Initial observation recap: liquidity is dispersing.
LA: Choppy action. Although the price has pulled back, the morning bearish warning has not yet formed a one-way downside confirmation. After the first issue, the price only fell 0.91%, while open interest increased by 3.87%, suggesting the support has not thinned out—buyers and sellers are still trading back and forth.
EUL: Cashed out—morning bearishness has already played out. After the first issue, the price continued to weaken by 16.86%, and open interest dropped in sync by 26.00%, indicating the pullback came with position reductions, and support has clearly deteriorated.
LINK: Choppy. The price is slightly weaker, but the decline is not large enough to confirm continued pullback. After the first issue, the price fell 0.90%. The ratio of aggressive buy/sell orders decreased from 1.26 to 0.78, showing aggressive buying has indeed receded, but the price has not yet broken into a one-way downtrend.
Next, focus on whether the aggressive buying in LA and LINK continues to weaken, and watch whether open interest also drops in sync when the price weakens—this will further confirm the pullback. If the price rebounds, aggressive buying returns, and open interest continues to expand, then the morning bearish thesis needs to be reconsidered.

Second review of the morning bullish pull-up that started about 13 hours ago: of the 3 contracts, 1 moved through, but 2 failed to catch.
Initial observation recap: the chips are consolidating.
Current performance: AERO has been兑现 (fulfilled), while LPT and ESP have fizzled out.
LPT: fizzled out—the morning bullish setup didn’t break through. After the initial call, the price pulled back by 5.17%, and the trend has already deviated from the original direction. Open interest also fell in sync by 11.02%; the aggressive buy orders also failed to form support, indicating both price and positioning are lagging behind.
AERO: fulfilled—this bullish move broke through. After the initial call, the price continued rising by 4.36%, showing that the pull-up direction is being sustained. Open interest increased by 5.26%, suggesting positions still came in during the rise, though the strength of aggressive buying is somewhat weaker than at the initial call.
ESP: fizzled out—the morning bullish setup was clearly weakened. After the initial call, the price dropped by 19.34%; the prior rally did not continue. Open interest fell at the same time by 14.22%. Even with higher trading volume and aggressive buying slightly leading, it still didn’t reverse the synchronized pullback in both price and positioning.
Next, the key focus is whether AERO can maintain price strength and whether open interest continues to hold/support, while also watching whether aggressive buying strengthens again. For LPT and ESP, first confirm that the price stops falling and that open interest stops retreating; otherwise, the morning bullish thesis will still be in a counter-evidence state. #LPT #AERO #ESP #contract review

This morning the top 3 on the gainers list; now checking the positions: ESP, SAFE, and CROSS have all pulled back significantly from their initial high levels.
ESP: stalled. After the initial offering, the price dropped by 21.8%, the open interest decreased by 31.72%, falling from 10.0896 million to 6.8888 million. The price and open interest both declined in tandem, and the leveraged positions have clearly contracted.
SAFE: stalled. After the initial offering, the price fell by 19.01%, and open interest decreased by 27.19%, dropping from 2.2810 million to 1.6607 million. The current active buy-sell order ratio is 0.81, with sell orders relatively dominant.
CROSS: stalled. After the initial offering, the price dropped by 8.73%, and open interest decreased by 26.19%, falling from 1.9172 million to 1.4152 million. The current active buy-sell order ratio is 0.97—long and short are nearly balanced, but it has not yet returned above 1.
For all three, the current active buy-sell order ratio is below 1. Next, we should watch whether they can regain a position above 1 and whether open interest stabilizes. Until then, the risk of a pullback from the high levels of the strong contracts this morning should still be kept in mind. #ESP #SAFE #CROSS #Contract recap

A bearish update and replay from the morning about 6 hours ago: high-level distribution warning review. Among the three contracts, EUL has already been fulfilled; LA and LINK are still in a tug-of-war, and for now there is no clear breakout into one-directional downside.
Initial watch recap: liquidity is dispersed.
LA: Choppy action. The bearish direction in the morning only showed slight weakness and has not yet formed a confirmed one-way down move. After the initial call, price pulled back by 0.92%, indicating the upper-range rally’s expansion has narrowed, but the pullback strength is limited. The buy/sell ratio of aggressive orders rose from 0.86 to 0.98; the buy-side has not continued to clearly fade, weakening the current bearish confirmation.
EUL: Fulfilled. The morning high-level distribution warning has already played out. After the initial call, price continued to weaken by 13.9%, directly validating the bearish direction. Open interest fell in parallel by 18.36%, showing that during the pullback, momentum clearly retreated and follow-through/absorption also thinned.
LINK: Choppy action. The morning bearish scenario has not been executed yet; price still keeps oscillating. After the initial call, price actually rose by 0.32%, and a downward breakout has not yet formed. The buy/sell ratio of aggressive orders dropped from 1.26 to 1.04. Aggressive buying has indeed retreated, but not enough to confirm a one-way decline.
Next, the key focus is whether LA and LINK can show synchronized weakness in price and a continued fade in aggressive buying. Also monitor whether EUL’s pullback continues. If LA and LINK continue to maintain price resilience, or if aggressive buying strengthens again, then the morning bearish logic needs to be re-evaluated. Only if all three show price weakness alongside thinning absorption at the same time will it be a signal that this pullback is further confirmed. #LA #EUL #LINK #Contract replay
