Contracts may see a pullback and consolidation today
Distributing from the highs—warning. These coins’ prices may still be rising, but the structure is already loosening. Don’t just look at the green percentage gains; what you fear isn’t that they won’t rise—it’s that as they rise, the follow-through (liquidity) becomes thinner. Next, watch whether the pullback develops, and whether the thinning follow-through can be further confirmed.
STORJ current price 0.05469, up 21.99%. Open interest is about $5.0554M, up 25.5% over 24 hours, and up another 11.5% in the past hour. Funding rate is -0.6987%, with short (bear) funding paid for 6 consecutive rounds, and the contract premium is -6.9438%. This means the rise in price and the addition of new positions are piling up at the same time. The negative funding rate and clear discount also make the order book more crowded—chasing highs can get tortured by both a snapback and a pullback. The market’s chips are scattered. The counterpoint: the super trend is still pointing upward, and there are signs in the order book that could push a short squeeze.
ZAMA current price 0.05996, up 4.55%. The buy vs sell order ratio is only 0.75, and active absorption is relatively weak. Open interest is about $8.8871M, up 5.8% over 24 hours, but down 0.3% in the past hour—near-term incremental demand has already slowed. This suggests price still has room to rise, but buying strength and open-interest changes are not strengthening in sync. Next, watch whether the structure starts to turn. The market’s chips are scattered. The counterpoint: the super trend is still rising, and the relative strength indicator 56.4 is also in a neutral zone.
PORTAL current price 0.01698, up 25.41%. Open interest is about $4.4025M, up 24.3% over 24 hours, but down 2.4% in the past hour. Funding rate is -0.0642%, with short (bear) funding paid for 7 consecutive rounds. Under such a high gain, short-term positioning has already started to cool off. This means the price is still strong, but new positions are starting to loosen—risk when chasing highs is increasing. The market’s chips are scattered. The counterpoint: the super trend is still rising, and there are still signs in the order book that could force a squeeze. If absorption keeps thinning, the pullback line is already starting to play out. If volume re-expands and holds, then this view needs to be re-evaluated.

The 24-hour prices of SUPER, AERO, and POL are all trending upward, with open interest increasing in sync. Next, keep an eye on whether open interest and active buy orders can continue to be confirmed.
SUPER: Up 7.68% over the past 24 hours, with open interest up 81.0%. Price and position are expanding in sync. The funding rate is -0.0807%, with three consecutive periods of shorts paying fees. The order book structure suggests a possible short squeeze. The counterpoint is that the active buy/sell ratio is only 0.68, and the open interest over the past 1 hour has fallen by 4.2%. Short-term support still needs confirmation.
AERO: Up 13.15% over the past 24 hours, with open interest up 27.2%. The uptrend has received confirmation from newly added positions. The super trend remains upward, and the current relative strength is continuing. The counterpoint is that the active buy/sell ratio is 0.78, with active sell orders still in control.
POL: Up 6.3% over the past 24 hours, with open interest up 28.0%, including a further 4.2% increase in open interest over the past 1 hour. The active buy/sell ratio reaches 1.33, with active buys in the lead. Price and positions are still moving in line with the trend. The counterpoint is that the long accounts’ share has reached 59%. If the structure continues to concentrate, volatility may expand.
All three are showing large short-term fluctuations—confirm based on the public order book. If price follows the trend, open interest keeps following through, and active buys continue to hold, then this line will continue. If price weakens, open interest pulls back, or active sells gain further dominance, then this direction needs to be reassessed.

Contract Order Book Daily|8/25 Both Price and Positions Climb, But Bids Fall Behind
At 07:00 this morning, $BTC marked the price at $78,728, up 1.48%. It is only about 1.6% away from $80,000. Open interest rose to $8.445 billion, up 2.9%, with leverage expanding faster than price. However, the ratio of aggressive buy vs. sell is only 0.98—trading execution still leans slightly toward sell pressure.
Longs account for 49%, and there is no one-sided overcrowding. Yet the funding rate climbed to +0.0062%, while ETH and SOL are at +0.0093% and +0.01% respectively—chasing higher is raising costs. The Fear & Greed index is 73, sentiment is hot, but new positions have not received confirmation from strong aggressive buying.
Catalysts are concentrated in $BTC . The market statistics show a 23.56% gain over the past week, the largest weekly bullish candle since March 2023. After Strive’s token issuance, it also bought $81.5 million worth of Bitcoin. Expectations that the U.S. crypto market-structure bill could gain bipartisan support in the Senate. The spot narrative is being amplified, but the derivatives market shows a divergence: “price up, open interest up, but aggressive buying is weak.”
Smaller-cap coins are stacking risk on both sides. $STORJ funding is as low as -0.366%, meaning shorts have very high costs, making passive covering more likely. ESports funding reaches +0.132%, and the long side is even more afraid of quickly deleveraging. Next, focus first on the aggressive buy vs. sell ratio around $80,000: if it cannot reclaim above 1, then continued growth in open interest is not confirmation—it’s clearing fuel.

PROM position volume surges 97.2%, UAI increases 84.2%, and PORTAL also rises 29.7%. In the morning, capital is clearly concentrated in a handful of high-volatility coins.
Today’s futures hotspot—just focus on these.
$PROM jumps 30.6%, current price 3.756, trading volume $315 million. Both the price gain and trading volume expand at the same time—this is not a low-volume spike.
Short accounts still outnumber long, but buy orders from the market are slightly dominant. Position volume is close to doubling, indicating new positions are flowing in rapidly.
$PORTAL climbs 28.0%, current price 0.01715, with the funding rate falling as low as -0.056%—shorts are still continuously paying.
Position volume increases by 29.7%, and active buys are slightly stronger. The longer this shorts-hard-stance structure persists, the more likely a squeeze becomes.
$UAI rises 25.5%, current price 0.3527, trading volume $176 million, and position volume increases by 84.2%.
Long and short trading are nearly balanced, but longs have already absorbed a 0.096% funding cost, suggesting momentum is still strong—and chasing price upward also raises the cost.
On the other side, VELVET drops 77.8% and position volume decreases by 33.9%. This looks more like existing positions are quickly withdrawing, not that new shorts are continually stacking.
The 4th through 10th are, in order: ONG up 15.5%, TAC up 15.4%, STORJ up 14.8%, AERO up 13.6%, CYS up 9.8%, VIRTUAL up 8.8%, and APR up 8.0%.
Overall, capital is clustering into a few strong coins. For PROM, watch whether trading volume and position volume can keep moving in sync. For PORTAL, watch whether extremely negative funding rates can continue to squeeze shorts.
The holdings of the top three increased by 74.9%, 75.2%, and 27.8% respectively, with capital clearly concentrated in a small number of high-beta coins.
$PROM rose 28.3%, and trading volume reached $289 million. Both the price increase and trading activity expanded in tandem—this is not just a pulse without volume. Holdings surged 74.9%, while the long/short account ratio remains only 0.73. New positions flowed in quickly, and disagreements are still building. Current price is 3.669, and there is still significant room for fluctuation before the 24-hour high of 4.055.
$UAI rose 27.8%, with trading volume of $157 million and holdings up 75.2%. The rate of position expansion is more prominent than the price move. Sell orders from active traders are slightly in the lead, and the long/short account ratio is 0.83, indicating that chasing the rally is not consistent. New positions are actively colliding on the buy side. Current price is 0.3522, and the 24-hour high is 0.3878. Going forward, we need to see whether trading can continue to hold up.
$PORTAL rose 21.0% and holdings increased by 27.8%, but the funding rate has already fallen to -0.187%. The shorts are still enduring high costs to hold on. Price rising alongside extremely negative funding creates a structure that, the longer it lasts, the more likely it becomes to trigger a short squeeze. Trading volume of $73.8 million isn’t the highest, but order-book contradictions are the most evident among the top three.
From 4th to 10th place: GRASS rose 14.1%, SUPER rose 13.5%, POL rose 10.3%, INJ rose 9.9%, AERO rose 9.8%, VIRTUAL rose 9.4%, and TAC rose 9.3%. Overall, capital is clustering around the top three. Gains in the back half are relatively steady, but position anomalies aren’t as pronounced. Focus on whether PORTAL’s negative funding rate can continue, and whether PROM’s new positions can continue to be supported.
Contract Order Book Daily|8/24 Prices and Positions Rise in Tandem; Sell Orders Haven’t Retreated
At 23:00 Beijing time, the anomaly is that the $BTC marked price rose to $79,488.8, up 2.95%, while contract open interest increased by 3.6% to $8.63 billion.
Price and leverage are rising together, but the active buy/sell ratio is only 0.89, indicating that active sell orders still hold the upper hand. This rally is therefore not driven by one-way chasing buys.
Long-account share is only 49%, and the mainstream funding rate stays at 0.01%, so there is no clear sign of long crowding for the moment. The Fear & Greed Index has reached 73, meaning sentiment is heating up first, but the positioning structure remains relatively restrained. If sell orders continue to be absorbed by price, short covering could amplify volatility. Conversely, if price falls back into the accumulation zone, new leverage could turn into downside fuel.
On the catalyst front, $BTC has once again reclaimed the 50-week moving average line. Its technical positioning has improved, which is the direct reason for continued capital accumulation in this round.
Expectations of bipartisan support in the U.S. Senate for the crypto market structure bill are warming up, providing backing for risk appetite.
Meanwhile, Bitmine increased holdings by 32,447 $ETH in a single week, worth about $81 million. The $ETH price rose by 3.14%, showing that institutional buying is spreading the heat from Bitcoin to Ethereum.
Smaller-cap risks are more concentrated: the SUPER funding rate is down to -0.515%, with short fees already at extreme levels, making rapid squeezes more likely.
Next, watch only two boundaries: whether $BTC can hold near $79,000 when active sell orders are dominant, and whether after open interest continues rising, the active buy/sell ratio can return to above 1.
Live record: This account currently holds $FOGO long positions. As the thesis remains unchanged, the position will be held for now.

About 14 hours ago, I reviewed three bullish contracts in the morning: none have been successfully followed through yet; three failed to hold the move—PUMP, XPL sputtered out, and RE cooled down. This is the 2nd bullish pullback review to watch this morning’s rally. First-round recap: the positioning is tightening.
PUMP: sputtered out—there was no continuation after the bullish setup in the morning. After the first entry, the price pulled back 5.64%, and the trend has already flipped back to the opposite direction. Open interest fell in sync by 9.66%, indicating that the new positions did not take over momentum—instead, some positions were withdrawn.
RE: cooled down—the price barely held, but the morning bullish setup lacked open-interest confirmation. After the first entry, the price rose only 0.43%; the direction didn’t fully reverse, but it also failed to extend the earlier strength. Open interest dropped by 10.08%, showing that the heat from the new positions has clearly faded. Even with an increase in the active buy side, it still couldn’t generate an effective upside push for now.
XPL: sputtered out—didn’t break through with the morning bullish setup. After the first entry, the price fell 3.28%, directly weakening the original direction. Although the ratio of active buy orders rose to 1.14, the price is still declining, suggesting that the buy pressure is temporarily not enough to reverse the trend.
Next, we should jointly watch whether the price can return to the initial observation range, and also confirm whether open interest has stopped declining and whether the active buy ratio can continue to stay above 1. If the price remains weak and open interest drops again, that would further disprove this morning’s bullish setup and require us to re-examine this line.

A replay of the morning “high-level distribution observation · bearish” from about 13 hours ago: among the three contracts, SPK and MORPHO confirmed weakness, EUL is still in a rebound. The outcome was 2 confirmations and 1 that hasn’t yet managed to break into a one-directional decline. Initial observation recap: chips are dispersed.
EUL: a rebound—its early bearish thesis hasn’t yet played out. After the initial release, the price rose 3.05%, going against the pullback warning. The active buy/sell order indicator increased from 0.79 to 1.06, indicating active buying hasn’t retreated; instead, short-term support has strengthened.
SPK: confirmation—morning bearishness has already materialized. After the initial release, the price fell 7.37%, with the higher-level rally gains clearly giving back. Open interest declined by 6.29%, and active buying also retreated slightly compared with the time of the initial release, suggesting that when price weakened, positions withdrew in tandem, and the strength of support weakened as well.
MORPHO: confirmation—the pullback warned earlier in the morning has occurred. After the initial release, the price dropped 4.64%, and open interest also fell by 10.08% at the same time, indicating that the heat faded faster than the price. However, active buying didn’t retreat in sync; so although this one has confirmed, the order book is still tugging back and forth.
Next, we should jointly watch whether the price can continue moving lower, and whether active buying further ebbs when volume expands. This will confirm whether the pullback can continue. If EUL continues to rebound, or if SPK and MORPHO show price recoveries accompanied by open interest rising again, then we’ll need to revisit the bearish call from this morning.

Top 3 gainers in the past 24 hours this morning. After 8 hours, now checking the books to see whether the initial launch signal is sustained.
SPK: Stirring/hesitating; after the initial launch, the price didn’t provide a clear one-way confirmation. The price has fallen 1.43% from the initial launch. Open interest decreased from 7.9561M to 7.8431M, and the aggressive buy/sell ratio dropped from 1.07 to 0.98.
MORPHO: Stirring/hesitating; price moved higher, but the upside narrowed. The price is up 2.18% from the initial launch. Open interest increased from 16.5589M to 16.7760M, and the aggressive buy/sell ratio rose from 0.81 to 1.07.
LIT: The momentum fizzled out; the initial signal couldn’t be sustained. The price has fallen 6.35% from the initial launch. Open interest decreased from 71.1163M to 63.5487M, and the gain also narrowed from 16.06% to 4.45%.
For the evening, focus on whether price and open interest can move in the same direction again—especially watch for the risk of a pullback at LIT’s high level. #SPK #MORPHO #LIT # Contract recap

Bearish morning follow-up from about 6 hours ago—high-level distribution warning replay: 1 out of 3 has cashed out, 1 is in a pull-and-tug, 1 is having a temporary halt and hasn’t fully broken out into a one-way downside. Positions are dispersed.
EUL: A rebound—there hasn’t been a bearish breakdown in the morning yet. After the initial release, the price actually rose 4.35%, going against the warning. The active buy/sell ratio has increased to 1.12, indicating that the active buying hasn’t ebbed and the absorption hasn’t clearly thinned.
SPK: Pull-and-tug—the price has fallen, but it can’t yet be considered that a one-way downside has cashed out. After the initial release, the price dropped 2.93%, with the bearish direction holding a slight edge. The active buy/sell ratio remains at 1.10, suggesting buyers haven’t clearly exited and the order book is still in back-and-forth contention.
MORPHO: Cashed out—the morning bearishness has already broken out into price weakening. After the initial release, the price continued to fall 4.42%, consistent with the high-level distribution warning. Open interest also declined in sync by 8.76%, indicating that when price weakened, positions were withdrawn too—this bearish move has confirmed.
Next, we’ll jointly watch whether the price can continue to weaken, whether open interest falls in sync, and whether the active buy side clearly ebbs. If EUL keeps rebounding and SPK maintains active buyers in control, we’ll need to reassess the morning bearish logic; only if price and open interest both move downward in sync and broaden, that would be further confirmation of this pullback.
Live trading log: This account currently holds $FOGO long positions; as long as the logic hasn’t changed, we continue to hold.

About 6 hours ago, that set of morning pull-down observations · Bullish recap: In the morning, 3 were bullish, 0 followed through. Of the 3, 1 sputtered out, and 2 got pulled and tugged.
Opening call review: The chips are consolidating.
PUMP: Sputtered out—didn’t break out with the morning bullish move. After the opening, price dropped 4.0%; the trend has already turned to the bearish side. Open positions also fell by 5.45%, indicating the takeover enthusiasm is cooling off too. Even though active buying improved slightly, it still wasn’t enough to reverse the outcome.
RE: Tug-of-war—price barely followed the bullish direction, but the capital structure failed to complete confirmation. After the opening, price rose 0.65%, but the upside was limited; meanwhile, open positions decreased by 4.46%, meaning new follow-through pickup didn’t keep up. Active buying returned to being slightly dominant. This only shows bulls and bears are still battling; it can’t yet be considered that this bullish move has truly played out.
XPL: Tug-of-war—the morning bullish setup temporarily fell behind. After the opening, price fell 2.06%, while open positions also declined by 2.78%. Neither price nor positions formed an upward continuation. Trading volume increased somewhat, and active buying also improved, but it has not yet offset the price pullback and the withdrawal in positions.
Next, what we should watch together is whether price can once again reclaim the area near the opening call, while open positions stop falling and turn upward, and active buying continues to hold an advantage. That’s the confirmation that this bullish move is still in play. If price stays weak and open positions keep decreasing, it forms further negative evidence, requiring us to reassess the morning judgment.

Contract Order Book Daily|8/24 Price weakens while open interest increases; buy-side slightly dominant
At 11:30 AM, an abnormality is that the position growth rate is faster than the price. The marked price for $BTC is $77,124.7, up only 0.17%, but the total contract open interest increased by 0.7% to $8.211 billion, suggesting new positions are entering the market, though the price has not expanded in sync. The ratio of aggressive buy to aggressive sell is 1.11; longs account for 51%, so buyers have a mild edge, but it’s not a one-sided structure. The funding rate is +0.01%, while the Fear & Greed Index rises to 73—sentiment is getting overheated, and tolerance for chasing prices is declining.
On the funding side, there is still support. For $BTC and the spot-market ETF traded under $ETH , weekly net inflows total $2.6 billion, the strongest week since October last year. This explains why the earlier 23% rebound could complete quickly. However, the current price has already slipped back below $78,000, indicating that the inflow tailwind has not directly translated into sustained breakouts. The U.S. securities regulator has opened a 60-day consultation period for its crypto regulatory framework—this is a planned/expected step, not rule finalization. In the short term, it’s not advisable to front-run the outcome.
In smaller contracts, both sides are crowded. UNITREE, HOME, and MOVE funding rates are down to -0.366%, -0.353%, and -0.321% respectively; shorts continue to pay. If price resists and doesn’t fall, any funding-driven cover could amplify volatility. LGELECTRONICS, GEV, and ZHONGJI funding rates rise to +0.214%, +0.172%, and +0.164% respectively; long positions are carrying costs too high, making them more likely to trigger concentrated de-risking when a pullback occurs.
Next, watch how $78,000 aligns with total open interest. Only when price reclaims $78,000, while open interest growth doesn’t expand excessively, can it be considered that the market has digested the newly added leverage. If price remains under pressure, open interest still climbs, and the aggressive buy/sell ratio falls back below 1, then the current net-long structure will first shift into a risk of long de-leveraging.
Live record: At the moment, this account holds a long position in $FOGO ; as long as the logic hasn’t changed, I will continue to hold.

The current Binance Futures 24-hour gainers top 3 are SPK, MORPHO, and LIT—quickly review the public order book for those monitoring closely.
SPK: Up 22.98% in 24 hours, with trading volume of about $126 million, ranking first. Open interest is about $7.961 million, up 117.3% over 24 hours; it has also continued to increase by 2.6% in the last hour. The active buy/sell ratio is 1.07, with buy orders slightly favored, and the Super Trend remains trending upward.
MORPHO: Up 20.52% in 24 hours, with trading volume of about $106 million. Open interest is about $16.5589 million, up 53.7% over 24 hours, but down 7.3% in the last hour. The active buy/sell ratio has fallen to 0.81; the long/short ratio for regular accounts is 0.83, and short-term order replenishment is weaker than the overall upside performance.
LIT: Up 16.06% in 24 hours, with trading volume of about $120 million; open interest is about $71.1163 million. The long/short ratio for regular accounts is 1.89; the long/short ratio for top accounts reaches 4.19, meaning the long-side structure is more concentrated. The relative strength indicator is 73.0, already in the overbought zone, and the contract premium rate is 0.1028%.
All three have funding rates of 0.005%, with longs paying for 8 consecutive periods, and their Super Trends are also all trending upward. A common thing to watch together is whether open interest can continue to match price strength. The top spots on the gainers list often see pullbacks at high levels—especially watch for open-interest declines, active buying weakening, and an overly concentrated long-side structure. #SPK #MORPHO #LIT

High-level distribution issues warnings. These coins’ prices are still rising, but the structure is already loosening. Don’t just look at the green percentage gain figure. The danger isn’t that they won’t rise—it’s that as they rise, the order-book support (the “follow-through”) becomes thinner. The risk of chasing is increasing. Next, watch whether the pullback signals a reversal, and whether the thinning support can be confirmed. The chips are dispersing.
EUL current price 1.3365. Over the past 24 hours it’s still up 4.57%, but the open interest over 24 hours has decreased by 3.9%, and in the last hour it fell another 0.9%. The buy/sell ratio is only 0.79. When the price keeps rising, the active bid support isn’t strong; chasing buyers are easily tormented by both snapback and pullbacks at the same time. The counterpoint is that the super trend is still upward, and no clear turning has formed yet.
SPK current price 0.02321. The 24-hour gain reaches 29.66%, and during the same period open interest increased by 106.7%. The relative strength indicator has risen to 75.8, an overbought zone. Price gains and the quick influx of positions happen simultaneously. Once the structure becomes crowded, you need to be especially alert that high-level support may suddenly weaken. The counterpoint is that the active buy/sell ratio is still 1.12, and the active bid side hasn’t fully exited yet.
MORPHO current price 2.8862. Over the past 24 hours it’s up 24.95%, and open interest over 24 hours increased by 63.7%. The relative strength indicator has reached 79.7, an overbought zone. Both the gain and the open interest expand in sync, but the technical position is already overheated. Next, watch whether the high-level support will reverse direction. The counterpoint is that the super trend is still upward. If the support continues to thin, this pullback line is already forming; if it re-accumulates volume and holds steady, then this assessment needs to be re-evaluated.

# Contracts that may see a significant surge today
Bullish—what I’m watching in this market structure is that the chips are being accumulated. In the past 24 hours, the prices of PUMP, RE, and XPL rose by 5.45%, 7.86%, and 8.55% respectively; their open interest increased by 14.6%, 11.1%, and 19.9% respectively. Price is moving, and so is open interest. Next, watch whether the price strength can continue, and whether open interest on the short-term cycle and the aggressive buy/sell orders can keep confirming.
PUMP: 24-hour trading volume was $711 million. Open interest is about $120 million and increased by 14.6%. The aggressive buy/sell ratio is 1.06. The super trend remains upward, indicating that during the accumulation process, aggressive buying still has follow-through. The contrarian point is that the funding rate is 0.005%, and it has been positive for the long side for 8 consecutive periods. If aggressive buying weakens, the sustainability will need to be re-confirmed.
RE: Up 7.86% over the past 24 hours. Open interest is about $11.6467 million and increased by 11.1%, while the retail long share is only 31%. This suggests that price rising is accompanied by position increases, but a solid long-dominant retail structure has not yet formed. The contrarian point is that the aggressive buy/sell ratio is only 0.76; the super trend is still trending downward, and open interest in the 1-hour window decreased by 1.6%.
XPL: Up 8.55% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume of $113 million. Open interest is about $37.7753 million and increased by 19.9%. The super trend stays upward, indicating that price, accumulation, and trend direction are aligned in the same direction. The contrarian point is that the aggressive buy/sell ratio is 0.89, and open interest in the 1-hour window also fell slightly by 0.3%—short-term follow-through still needs confirmation.
If, over the next 24 hours, price continues to move with the trend and open interest expansion remains valid, then this line will keep running. If price turns weaker, open interest pulls back, or a combination appears with stronger aggressive sell orders, then this direction needs to be reassessed.

Contract Order Book Daily|8/24 Buy Pressure Strong, Positioning Slow to Increase
At 07:00 this morning, BTC address $BTC marked price was $77,573.77, up 0.75%. The aggressive buy order volume was 1.35 times the aggressive sell orders, but the open interest increased only 0.3% to $8.156 billion.
With price being pushed up by buy orders, leverage did not surge in sync. Even long accounts, at 52%, are only slightly in advantage.
If the proportion of aggressive buys falls below 1, while open interest accelerates upward, this bullish structure will no longer hold.
Bitcoin and Ethereum spot funds saw a net inflow of $2.6 billion over the past week, the strongest week since October last year.
This money supports overall market liquidity, but it does not necessarily mean smaller coins will benefit at the same time.
Only if subsequent capital keeps turning into net outflows can this support be considered withdrawn.
In the past 5 minutes, address $FARTCOIN saw 7 wallets face concentrated liquidations, involving 65.05 million units, valued at about $12.93 million.
This indicates that smaller-coin leverage liquidity gaps are still significant. Continuous executions in a short time could directly punch through margin.
Only if no similar concentrated liquidations appear afterward will this risk signal be considered cleared.
Funding rates for major coins are around +0.01%, not yet at extreme levels. However, ACE has fallen to -0.468%, and short positioning is clearly crowded away from the broader market.
If the negative funding rate continues to widen, the risk of squeeze will rise. If it keeps returning toward near zero, the crowding signal will fail.

Today’s hot tokens—watch just these few. The top ten by gain are all up more than 15%, with funds concentrated in highly volatile coins whose open interest is rapidly expanding.
$SPK +27.4%, current price 0.02244, trading volume $83.66M, open interest surges by 93.3%. The ratio of active buy/sell orders is only 0.93—sell orders are slightly in the lead—yet the price rises against sell pressure. This contradiction is the most interesting part. $MORPHO +26.3%, current price 2.8342, very close to the 24h high of 2.8478, with open interest up 43.1%. The long/short account ratio is only 0.85—more short-biased accounts—while active sell orders also have a slight advantage, but the price remains elevated. $GRASS +21.9%, current price 0.3625, open interest up 37.7%, and funding rate rises to 0.014%. The active buy/sell ratio is 0.93. The chase-buy strength isn’t that strong, yet new positions keep pouring in—disagreement on the order book is intensifying.
Ranks 4 to 10 are, in order: PENGU up 19.8%, UAI up 19.5%, TRUMP up 19.2%, USUAL up 17.6%, Lobster (龙虾) up 17.4%, TUT up 16.8%, and ZORA up 15.4%. On the downside: MAGMA down 13.6%, US down 12.1%, and GPS down 9.5%. All three see open interest decline in sync—the market is splitting very clearly. SPK, MORPHO, and GRASS are all potential squeeze candidates. The key isn’t extreme funding rates, but that open interest explodes during the rally while active sell orders have not yet backed off.
Overall, it’s a tight grouping of high-volatility coins: rising open interest directly conflicts with the active sell-side. Pay special attention to whether SPK’s position growth can continue. $SPK $MORPHO $GRASS #合约数据 #Hot Tokens

Today’s hot tokens—watch only these. The top three all have gains over 17%; open interest surged in sync, and the funds clearly crowded into high-volatility coins.
$SPK is up 21.5%, current price 0.02166, very close to the 24h high of 0.02197. Open interest increased by 36.7%, yet the passive/active sell side is slightly in the lead; the sell pressure couldn’t push the price down—this contradiction is worth monitoring. $ZRO is up 19.5%, with $210 million in trading volume, the most solid among the top three. Open interest jumped 43.0%; the active buy and sell order flow is nearly balanced, not a one-way emotional push.
$MORPHO is up 17.5%, open interest up 36.1%, current price 2.6345. The number of longs and shorts and the active buy/sell order flow are both close to balanced, but the price is already pressing near the 2.73 peak; divergence is widening. The funding rates for the top three are all +0.005%; both the gains and open interest expanded together—there’s a squeeze structure, but chasing-buy funds have started to pay for it too.
TAC is down 33.5%, yet open interest increased 34.3%; the funding rate reached +0.022%. The number of long positions is clearly overcrowded; active sell orders are dominant. When the price plunged, additional positions still rushed in—that’s the clearest squeeze-into-longs candidate. MAGMA is down 20.6%, with open interest down 30.4%, more like a concentrated retreat. US is down 15.8%, open interest down 13.2%, and active sell orders are also dominant.
Ranks 4 to 10: LOBSTER up 16.5%, PENDLE up 14.8%, ZORA up 13.8%, CYS up 13.5%, UAI up 13.2%, USELESS up 11.2%, and AAVE up 11.0%. Overall sentiment is somewhat bullish, but both the strong end and the downside end are accelerating the squeeze; focus on whether ZRO’s new open positions can keep going, and how TAC’s crowded longs will unwind/release. #合约市场 # fund flow

Contract Order Book Daily|8/23 Buying pressure stronger, leverage falls
At 23:00 tonight, the marked price for $BTC is 77,128.99, with a rise of only 0.15%, but the active buy volume is already 1.42 times the active sell volume. Meanwhile, open interest has fallen to $8.16 billion, down 0.4%, suggesting this round of price-pushing looks more like short covering plus funds trimming inventory—not a concentrated leveraged chase.
Spot crypto exchange-traded funds saw $2.6 billion in weekly inflows, the strongest week since October last year. BlackRock bought about $239 million worth of Bitcoin and $151 million worth of Ethereum in a single purchase. Treasury repo adjustments have also helped drive another round of short squeezes. Liquidity is indeed somewhat bullish, but the greed index is already at 66. Longs account for 52%, and sentiment is beginning to get ahead of positioning.
Funding rates for major coins have not yet run out of control. Both $BTC and $ETH are hovering around +0.01%. What’s truly crowded is in local derivatives: ACE’s funding rate is as low as -0.364%, making the short-squeeze risk the highest; ZHIPU has risen to +0.248%, and if longs loosen, drawdowns are likely to be amplified by liquidations.
$SOL is up 1.75% to 94.89. The mainnet block production interval has shortened to 350 milliseconds, providing an independent catalyst. Next, focus on whether $BTC open interest can rise again alongside price. If price keeps climbing while open interest continues to fall, the squeeze component remains high and the room for chasing should be discounted.
