$INTC fell 4.49% over the past 24 hours, with a price of 122.89. At this level, the funding rate for the perpetual contract is 0.
With the funding rate at zero, it means that in the perpetual market, longs and shorts are temporarily not taking actions to periodically pay fees. Long and short positions are in a fragile balance at this moment. But since the price is falling, this usually points to a scenario: there is ongoing sell pressure, while the buyers are not actively opening long positions to absorb it—there may even be profit-taking as longs close out.
Trading volume is 187 million and open interest is 594,000. If open interest is not increasing significantly alongside the price drop, that further confirms the market is being dominated by one-sided short sell pressure or long liquidation/profit-taking, rather than by new opposing positions actively betting against each other.
If this round of decline is accompanied by stagnant or falling open interest, it suggests the drop is mainly driven by position reduction—not by new shorts entering the market—so its sustainability is questionable. My view leans toward this being a grind lower caused by insufficient micro liquidity: there’s no strong short conviction, and no corresponding confidence from longs to step in for bargain buying. As a result, a technical rebound is likely, but with limited room to run.
The strongest counter-evidence would be if, next, there is a selloff with expanding volume and a sudden surge in open interest. That would imply shorts have started building positions aggressively, and the downtrend could accelerate.
