$NVDL 24 hours saw a 7.626% rise; the current price is 36.27. This move is not driven by fundamentals—it's purely sentiment premium trading on a political event.
The funding rate is negative, -0.0014. That means shorts are paying longs. With the price rising alongside a negative funding rate, this is a classic short-squeeze structure: shorts are holding the position, being squeezed out. Open interest is 3279—small in size—but with a negative funding rate, even a slight buy-side push can force shorts to liquidate, causing the price to accelerate.
The counterargument is clear: if the political narrative fades, this sentiment premium will likely be quickly given back. But the second-order effect is that under a negative funding rate, any pullback may be supported by buy orders from short covering. The liquidity from shorts being forced to close will flow upward.
Whether this sentiment can persist depends on whether the political event continues to develop. If the price breaks below 35.5, I interpret it as the short-term sentiment premium being absorbed; that level becomes the line between bulls and bears.
Action: I’m inclined to go long following the trend, but with a tight stop-loss. Direction: Long. Leverage: 3x. Stop-loss: 35.5. Take-profit: first look at 38.5. Position size: 10% to test. If the price breaks below 35.5, close the position unconditionally.
