合约涨跌AI预判-VIP-1009版

The morning “High-Level Distribution Watch · Bearish” alert from about 13 hours ago, second performance review: 2 of 3 bounced, and 1 stabilized on lower volume. None has entered a sustained downtrend so far.
Review of the initial alert: holdings were dispersing.

CHIP: Bounced; the morning bearish call has yet to play out.
The price rose 4.34% after the initial alert, moving opposite to the expected pullback.
Open interest increased 9.48%, and taker buying also edged into the lead. This suggests the rebound was supported by new positions, with no clear weakening in buying support.

KAT: Stabilized on lower volume. The morning bearish call saw a 2.81% pullback, but this is not yet a sustained downtrend.
Open interest fell 12.24%, suggesting that as selling pressure eased, new speculative activity also contracted.
Taker buying has moved into the lead, and support has partly recovered. For now, this looks more like a tug-of-war as the price stabilizes after its pullback.

BANK: Bounced, significantly weakening the morning bearish call.
The price rose 11.64% after the initial alert, moving opposite to the warning.
Open interest increased 29.41%, suggesting positions continued to build during the rebound. Although taker buying has weakened compared with when the alert was first issued, the bearish outlook has not yet materialized.

Going forward, watch for signs of price weakness and whether open interest and taker buying decline in tandem, to confirm whether a further pullback can take hold.
If CHIP and BANK continue to rebound as open interest rises, or if taker buying remains dominant after KAT stabilizes, the morning bearish call will need to be reassessed.

Morning bullish/pump watch from about 13 hours ago: 1 of 3 played out, while 2 did not.
Review of the initial watch: positions are being accumulated.

ETHFI: Mixed. The morning bullish setup showed some lift, but has yet to confirm a clear one-way move.
The price rose 2.42% after the initial post, suggesting the direction has not reversed for now.
Open interest increased 3.54%, but aggressive buying has slipped slightly below aggressive selling, so price action and market positioning remain mixed.

ERA: Played out. This morning's bullish setup came through.
The price continued to rise 3.33% after the initial post, delivering on the bullish direction.
Open interest increased by just 0.30%, indicating limited follow-through from new positions. Aggressive buyers have taken the lead, but the move's staying power remains to be seen.

BABY: Cooling off. The morning bullish setup mostly failed to materialize.
Open interest fell 9.67% from the initial post, indicating a clear drop in interest from new positions.
The price rose just 0.07%, while aggressive buying weakened, undermining the original directional view.

For the rest of the evening, keep an eye on whether the price can continue moving higher, whether open interest follows in tandem, and whether aggressive buyers can maintain their lead.
If the price stalls, open interest continues to fall, or aggressive buying weakens again, the validity of this bullish continuation should be reassessed.

The top 3 gainers over the past 24 hours this morning—time to check back in this evening.

Q: Lost steam.
Down 59.61% from its launch price, with open interest also falling 57.98% to 17.4465 million. The earlier bullish signal has not held.

DOOD: Lost steam.
Down 25.85% from its launch price, with open interest falling 29.69% to 6.2623 million. Pressure from a pullback off the highs is now evident.

AIN: Delivered.
Up a further 113.11% from its launch price, with open interest rising 153.19% to 49.9460 million. The price-and-volume signal remains intact.

Going forward, watch whether AIN’s open interest can hold steady. Its relative strength index has reached 81.4, while its funding rate has climbed to 0.1264%. For Q and DOOD, remain alert to the risk of a pullback from elevated levels.

Review of the early-morning bearish and high-level distribution alerts from about 6 hours ago: Of the 3 contracts, 0 have confirmed the expected move. CHIP and KAT are still range-bound, while BANK has bounced. None has entered a sustained downward trend for now.
Review of the initial observations: Selling pressure is spreading.

CHIP: Range-bound; the early-morning bearish outlook has yet to be confirmed by price action.
Since the initial alert, the price has instead risen 2.73%, indicating that buying support has not clearly weakened.
However, the gain has narrowed by 4.21 percentage points since the initial alert. Upside momentum has cooled, but this is not yet enough to confirm a pullback.

KAT: Range-bound; the price has weakened slightly, but the bearish direction still lacks confirmation of a sustained move.
Since the initial alert, the price has fallen 0.44%, suggesting that selling pressure at higher levels is beginning to emerge.
The taker buy/sell ratio has risen to 1.24, and aggressive buyers have not withdrawn, so for now this looks more like an ongoing back-and-forth struggle.

BANK: Rebounding; the early-morning bearish outlook has been significantly undermined, and this one is not moving as expected so far.
Since the initial alert, the price has risen 10.2%, moving in the opposite direction to the original outlook.
Open interest has also increased by 21.72%, indicating that the rebound has come with new positions. Buying support has not weakened at this point.

Next, we’ll keep an eye on whether prices continue to weaken, whether aggressive buying falls below selling, and whether growth in open interest stops. These are the conditions needed to further confirm a pullback.
If BANK continues to rebound, or aggressive buyers remain dominant in CHIP or KAT, the early-morning high-level distribution alert will need to be reassessed.

Of the 3 contracts flagged as bullish about 6 hours ago this morning, 1 has played out and 2 have not held up. This is the first review of this morning’s price-action watch.
Review of the initial watch: positions are being built.

ETHFI: Mixed. The bullish call from this morning has not played out yet, and the price has not continued in the expected direction.
After the initial alert, the price slipped 0.15%, suggesting the upward move still lacks confirmation.
Open interest increased 0.59%, but the taker buy/sell ratio fell to 0.81. The added positions were not supported by active buying.

ERA: Played out. This bullish call came through, with the price continuing to rise 3.96% after the initial alert.
Open interest also increased 1.15%, suggesting positions continued to support the price as it rose.
However, there was no clear strengthening in active buying, so whether the move can continue remains to be seen.

BABY: Mixed. The bullish call from this morning did not hold up, with both price and open interest falling behind.
After the initial alert, the price dropped 1.27%, moving away from the original bullish direction.
Open interest fell 6.91%, and the taker buy/sell ratio also dropped below 1, indicating weakening support.

Next, watch whether the price can regain strength, whether open interest can rise in tandem, and whether the taker buy/sell ratio can move back above 1.
If the price remains weak and open interest contracts further, that would contradict this morning’s bullish watchlist, and the market structure will need to be reassessed.

Daily Futures Order Book | 10/27: Open Interest Rises as Selling Pressures Prices

The most unusual midday development was that $BTC was priced at $79,760.82, up just 0.17%, while futures open interest rose 2.1% to $7.712 billion.
Long positions accounted for 70%, but the taker buy/sell ratio was only 0.75—equivalent to just 75 units of aggressive buying for every 100 units of aggressive selling.
This points to leveraged longs building up, without a corresponding increase in actual buying demand.

Funding rates across major futures contracts were all positive, indicating that longs are still paying to maintain their positions. But the Fear and Greed Index was only 48, suggesting spot market sentiment is far from exuberant.
Funding rates among smaller tokens were even more extreme: $UNITREE was at -0.835%, indicating an overcrowded short position, while $BWET was at +0.367%, suggesting elevated long-side crowding.
Extreme funding rates are not directional signals; they are fuel for liquidations on either side.

There are two catalysts on the payments front: the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is encouraging community banks to issue payment stablecoins, and Ripple has received final approval for a U.S. national trust bank.
This could raise expectations for compliant stablecoins and payment rails, but in the near term, it is not enough to reverse the dominance of aggressive selling in the $BTC order book.

Security is a headwind: the keys Keystone uses to verify the authenticity of hardware wallets were stolen, further increasing trust risks around self-custody devices.
The risk boundary is $80,000: reclaiming that level is not enough on its own—the taker buy/sell ratio needs to rise above 1. If open interest keeps increasing while the ratio remains below 1, crowded longs could turn into liquidation pressure first.

At 10:00 Beijing time, the top three gainers on Binance Futures over the past 24 hours are Q, DOOD, and AIN. Here’s a quick rundown of publicly available market data for traders monitoring the market.

Q shows the clearest anomaly: it’s up 255.38% over 24 hours, while open interest rose to $41.5154 million, up 312.5% over the same period and a further 7.3% in the past hour.
Price and open interest are rising rapidly in tandem, but the relative strength index has reached 86.8, putting it in overbought territory and setting the stage for increased short-term volatility.

DOOD is up 97.00% over 24 hours, but its funding rate is -0.5523%, with shorts paying for eight consecutive funding periods.
At the same time, its futures premium is -0.4387%. The price rise alongside negative funding and a negative premium suggests that disagreement in market pricing between bulls and bears remains pronounced.

AIN is up 68.73% over 24 hours, with open interest at $19.7265 million, up 112.7% over the same period.
Its funding rate is 0.0747%, with longs paying for eight consecutive funding periods, and its top-trader long/short ratio has reached 1.94, indicating greater concentration on the long side as open interest expands.

All three have an upward Supertrend, and open interest has expanded for each over the past 24 hours. However, their open-interest changes over the past hour have diverged: Q is up 7.3%, DOOD is down 1.1%, and AIN is up 1.5%.
High-flying assets on the leaderboard can see amplified volatility and rapid pullbacks. Going forward, watch whether open interest, funding rates, and aggressive buying and selling flows turn in sync. The risk of chasing prices higher should be a primary consideration.

Contracts that may see a steady slide and sell-off today

Leaning toward a gradual pullback.
These coins are still rising in price, but their structure is already weakening. Don’t focus only on the green percentage gains—the risk of chasing higher is growing.
The concern isn’t that prices won’t rise; it’s that buying support may thin out as they climb. Watch for a pullback and confirmation that support is weakening.

CHIP is currently at 0.05094, up 15.72%. Open interest is about $12.59 million, up 43.6% over 24 hours, but it has increased by just 0.3% in the past hour, meaning short-term growth in open interest has slowed.
Positions are becoming more dispersed.
A counterpoint: the Supertrend is still rising, and the Relative Strength Index is neutral at 56.7, so the structure has not fully turned bearish.

KAT is currently at 0.004342, up 10.88%, but its taker buy/sell ratio is only 0.71, with taker selling dominant. The price is rising without matching buying support.
Positions are becoming more dispersed.
A counterpoint: the funding rate is -0.0394%, with shorts paying for 8 consecutive periods. The cost of holding bearish positions is relatively high, so pressure for a rebound remains.

BANK is currently at 0.02578, up 9.19%. The long/short account ratio is 1.75, with longs making up 64%. The ratio among top accounts is even higher at 1.89, indicating that positions are clearly skewed to one side.
Positions are becoming more dispersed.
A counterpoint: the taker buy/sell ratio is 1.2, with taker buying still dominant, so support has not yet disappeared outright.

If buying support continues to thin, the pullback scenario is playing out; if volume returns and prices hold firm, this view will need to be reassessed.

Contracts that could surge sharply today

Bullish. I’m reading this setup as accumulation.
ETHFI, ERA, and BABY are all up over the past 24 hours, with open interest rising in tandem and Supertrend remaining bullish across the board.
Next, watch whether price strength, open interest, and aggressive buying continue to confirm the move.

ETHFI is currently at 0.6525, up 4.38% over the past 24 hours. Open interest is about $23.0983 million, up 3.2% over 24 hours and 1.5% over the past hour.
The taker buy/sell ratio is 1.04, with price and open interest moving in the same direction.
The counterpoint is a funding rate of 0.005%, with longs paying for eight consecutive periods. Further upside will need to absorb this pressure.

ERA is currently at 0.08434, up 7.37% over the past 24 hours. Open interest is about $6.9513 million, sharply higher by 22.4% over 24 hours.
The funding rate is -0.0929%, with shorts paying for eight consecutive periods. Public order-book data suggests a potential short squeeze.
The counterpoint is that the taker buy/sell ratio is only 0.88, so aggressive buyers have yet to take the lead.

BABY is currently at 0.01412, up 7.38% over the past 24 hours. Open interest is about $4.5038 million, up 12.8% over 24 hours.
The funding rate is -0.0905%, with shorts paying for eight consecutive periods. The taker buy/sell ratio is 1.08, showing price action and aggressive buying moving in sync.
The counterpoint is that open interest has fallen 0.6% over the past hour, so the continuity of short-term position building still needs confirmation.

If rising prices, increasing open interest, and confirmation from aggressive buyers continue to hold, this move may continue. If price weakens while open interest keeps falling, this outlook should be reassessed.

Daily Futures Market Update | 10/27: Rising Open Interest, Buying Pressure Stalls at $80,000

Early this morning, below the $80,000 level, the $BTC mark price was $79,953.8, down 0.6%, while open interest rose 1.6% to $7.628 billion.
Aggressive buy volume was about 1.67 times aggressive sell volume, but the long share had reached 69%, and the funding rate was also positive at 0.01%.
Buying pressure and leverage are rising in tandem, yet the price has failed to climb back above $80,000. This is the one anomaly to watch right now: newly opened long positions are coming under pressure.

Trump signaled that there would be no immediate strike on Iran, easing near-term geopolitical risks somewhat.
The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency encouraged community banks to issue payment stablecoins, a development more positive for medium-term infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the market disclosed that BitMine bought about $24 million worth of $ETH last week, bringing its holdings to more than 6 million tokens. But for now, none of these events has reversed the price response at the $80,000 level.

The risk-management boundaries are clear: if $BTC gets back above $80,000 while open interest continues to rise and aggressive buyers remain in control, the view that “newly opened long positions are under pressure” no longer holds.
If the price moves further away from $80,000 and open interest starts to decline, that would look more like crowded longs beginning to exit.

These are the few contracts worth watching today. Capital is clearly clustering in high-beta coins, with open interest doubling for all of the top three.

$Q rose 150.5%, with trading volume reaching $374 million. Both the price gain and trading volume expanded, so this wasn't a low-volume spike.
Open interest surged 184.6%. Short traders still outnumber longs, but aggressive buying is also slightly stronger, so the squeeze setup remains in place.

$AIN rose 82.1%, with the price nearing its 24-hour high and open interest up 108.9%.
The funding rate is already elevated, and long-side crowding is clearly increasing. Next, it's worth watching whether the price can hold up at these higher levels.

$BULLA rose 65.2%, with trading volume at $257 million and open interest up 112%.
Short traders significantly outnumber longs, but aggressive buying and selling are nearly balanced. This tug-of-war is more interesting than a one-way chase.

Among the next tier, DOOD rose 43.9%, TAG 39%, US 18.6%, CHIP 16.9%, LIGHT 16.7%, PARTI 16.3%, and AT 13.9%.
Q, AIN, and BULLA are all potential short-squeeze candidates. Q stands out most in terms of price, volume, and open-interest changes, so keep an eye on whether it can sustain trading momentum this morning.

Today’s hot tokens—just these few.
All of the top three are up more than 32%, with open interest surging in tandem. Capital is clearly clustering in high-volatility coins.

$BULLA is up 75.1%, currently at 0.15516, and nearing its 24-hour high of 0.15858.
Open interest surged 118.1%. Aggressive buyers have a slight edge, while short accounts actually outnumber long accounts. This isn’t a low-volume spike.

$DOOD is up 38.4%, with $388 million in trading volume and open interest up 89.2%.
The funding rate has fallen to -0.242%. Shorts are still paying to hold their positions, and the longer this structure persists, the more likely a move becomes.
Aggressive buyers have a slight edge, but the current price is still noticeably below its 24-hour high.

$AIN is up 32.6%, with open interest up 47.6%, but aggressive buying and selling are nearly balanced.
The number of bullish accounts is almost twice that of bearish accounts, showing that interest has picked up, but buying support has yet to take a clear lead.
EWZ, meanwhile, is down 25.3%, even as open interest rose 103.2%. Bullish accounts outnumber bearish accounts by 2.58 to 1—a stark divergence between price and positioning.

Ranks 4 through 10 are TAG, up 24.4%; CHIP, up 22.4%; ARIA, up 18.6%; LIGHT, up 17.9%; BEAT, up 17.6%; BEAMX, up 16.1%; and PARTI, up 14.2%.
Overall, volume is concentrated in a handful of coins, and the bigger the gains, the more pronounced the positioning conflicts.
For signs of follow-through, watch whether BULLA can hold its highs and when DOOD’s extreme negative funding rate begins to ease.

Derivatives Market Daily | 10/26: Long positions rise, but price fails to follow

$BTC 's mark price returned to $80,390, but was still down 0.28%, after briefly falling below $80,000.
Notional open interest rose 0.4% to $7.687 billion, and the taker buy/sell ratio was 1.14, yet long accounts already made up 70% of the total.
Buyers are more active and positions are increasing, but the price has not strengthened in tandem, suggesting new long positions are being absorbed by selling pressure.
This crowded-positioning signal will ease only if the price holds firmly above $80,000 and the long-account share declines.

Funding rates for all major perpetual contracts were positive, with $BTC at 0.0094% and $SOL reaching 0.01%.
This means longs are still paying to hold their positions, while the Fear & Greed Index is only 50, offering no clear sentiment cushion.
The pressure from longs paying funding will ease only if rates fall back near zero while the price holds above $80,000.

The news is also mixed.
Strive bought $511 million worth of Bitcoin, while Strategy paused its purchases. Trump said the US would not strike Iran today, which may provide only a short-lived boost to risk appetite and does not confirm sustained capital inflows.
Expectations around the Fed's decision and the US midterm elections continue to weigh on pricing near $80,000. Any reversal in geopolitical statements would immediately erase the short-term boost.

The current threshold is clear: above $80,000, watch whether positions translate into price gains; below it, beware of a concentrated unwind of the 70% long positioning.

Review of the morning bearish call and high-level distribution warning issued about 13 hours ago: Of the three contracts, T and REZ weakened as expected, while STEEM remains caught in a tug-of-war, with no sustained one-way decline so far.
Positions are unwinding.

T: Played out. The morning bearish move has materialized.
Since the initial post, the price has continued to weaken, down 10.42%, directly confirming the pullback.
Open interest fell by 15.39% at the same time, while the active buy/sell indicator dropped to 0.80. This suggests that support is thin and positions in the market are also being closed.

STEEM: Still caught in a tug-of-war; the morning bearish call has not yet led to a one-way decline.
Since the initial post, the price has instead risen 2.24%, directly weakening the original outlook.
However, open interest fell by 9.64% and the active buy/sell indicator declined by 0.09, suggesting that additional buying support remains limited during the rebound.

REZ: Played out. Price action since the initial post has continued in line with the morning bearish outlook.
The price weakened by 4.44%, while trading volume increased by 53%, so the pullback was not simply a low-volume fluctuation.
The active buy/sell indicator fell by 0.44 to 0.85, indicating a clear retreat in aggressive buying, with pressure still present in the order book.

Next, keep an eye on whether volume continues to confirm price weakness, and whether active buying recovers.
If T and REZ stabilize in price and open interest starts to rise again, or STEEM sees volume pick up during its rebound and active buying recover, this high-level distribution warning should be reassessed.

Review of the morning bullish/pump watch from about 13 hours ago: Of 3 assets, 0 have played out so far and 3 have failed to hold—the results have all been choppy.
Recap of the initial watch: accumulation is underway.

CVC: Choppy; the morning bullish setup didn’t play out.
Price is down 0.38% from the initial post, showing that it didn’t continue in the bullish direction.
Open interest rose 4.15%, but the increase failed to push the price higher, so there’s still no clear confirmation of a one-way move.

ENA: Choppy; the morning bullish move has extended slightly, but hasn’t truly played out yet.
Price is up 0.60% from the initial post, so it hasn’t completely fallen behind for now.
Open interest is rising, but the active buy/sell ratio has fallen by 0.12, indicating weaker buying support.

PYTH: Choppy; the morning bullish setup also hasn’t been confirmed.
Open interest rose 4.42%, and the active buy/sell ratio climbed to 1.21, indicating that both rising open interest and active buying are still present.
However, the price is slightly down from the initial post, so the increased activity has yet to translate into upward price action.

Next, watch whether the price can rise alongside continued support from open interest, and whether active buying can hold up.
If open interest keeps rising without a price increase, or trading activity and active buying weaken, that would invalidate this morning’s bullish thesis and warrant a reassessment.

This morning’s top 3 gainers over 24 hours—8 hours later, let’s check the numbers.

CAP: Losing steam.
Since launch, the price has fallen 26.66%, while open interest has also declined 26.03%. The risk of a pullback from elevated levels still warrants attention.

APR: Gains realized.
Since launch, the price has continued to rise by 5.68%, and open interest has increased by 4.73%.

ERA: Pressure continues to build.
Since launch, the price has risen 2.18%, while open interest has increased by 19.56%.

This update focuses on just one verifiable signal: whether price and open interest continue moving in the same direction.
If they diverge later, the corresponding assessment no longer holds.

Review of the “High-Level Distribution Watch · Bearish” call from about 6 hours ago: 1 of 3 played out, while 2 remain unresolved; neither has developed into a one-way decline.
Review of the initial watch: tokens were being distributed.

T: Played out—the bearish view from this morning has been confirmed as prices continued to weaken.
The price is down 7.06% from the initial call, and this one has now pulled back.
Open interest fell 8.01%, and aggressive buying was also below selling, suggesting weak demand and continued position reductions in the market.

STEEM: Still unresolved. Although the price has pulled back, this morning’s bearish view has yet to be confirmed by a one-way decline.
The price is down just 1.11% from the initial call, a limited move lower.
The aggressive buy ratio actually rose from 0.86 to 1.18, suggesting demand has not continued to weaken and making further downside less certain.

REZ: Still unresolved. A pullback has emerged, but it is too early to count this as the bearish view playing out.
The price is down 2.03% from the initial call, which currently looks more like a struggle at elevated levels than sustained downward pressure.
The aggressive buy ratio fell from 1.29 to 0.97, suggesting buyers’ advantage is fading, but further price weakness is needed for confirmation.

This afternoon, keep an eye on whether prices continue to weaken, whether aggressive buying remains below selling, and whether demand thins further as open interest declines.
If aggressive buyers regain the upper hand and push prices to stabilize and strengthen, that would invalidate this morning’s bearish view, and this thesis would need to be reassessed.

Review of the morning bullish/pump watch from about 6 hours ago: 0 of 3 played out, all 3 failed to follow through, and all are currently caught in a tug-of-war.
Recap of the initial watch: positions are being trimmed.

CVC: Choppy; the morning bullish momentum didn’t continue, and the price weakened instead.
Since the initial post, the price has fallen 2.77%, moving away from the bullish outlook.
The active buy/sell ratio has dropped to 0.82, and open interest is also shrinking, indicating that neither buying pressure nor position buildup has provided support.

ENA: Choppy; the price has moved in line with the morning bullish outlook, but it’s too early to say the move has played out.
Since the initial post, the price has risen 1.61% and open interest has increased 5.98%, indicating that the move has been supported by rising positions.
However, the buying advantage has changed only slightly, and the price action and capital flows still lack further confirmation of a sustained one-way move.

PYTH: Choppy; it has temporarily fallen behind the morning bullish outlook, but active buying has picked up.
Since the initial post, the price has fallen 1.59%, moving against the bullish direction.
The active buy/sell ratio has risen to 1.39, but open interest hasn’t risen alongside it, so for now this can only be viewed as a tug-of-war between bulls and bears.

Next, watch whether prices can resume moving in the bullish direction, and whether open interest and active buying strengthen together.
If prices continue to weaken and open interest keeps falling, that would further invalidate this morning’s bullish watch and warrant a reassessment.

Derivatives Market Daily | 10/26: $80,000 breached, crowding unresolved

Our previous note that “deleveraging at the $80,000 level is not over” has been borne out.
$BTC ’s midday mark price was $79,622, down 1.59%. It briefly fell below $80,000, and approximately $404 million in long positions across the market were liquidated within four hours.
But open interest fell only 0.8% to $7.54 billion, suggesting that some leverage has exited, but the market is far from fully flushed out.

More concerning, the proportion of $BTC longs remains at 69%, while the funding rate has stayed positive at 0.0039%.
The active buy/sell ratio is 1.01, only slightly above the neutral level—not enough to show that prices below $80,000 have found solid support.
$ETH fell 2.47% and $SOL fell 1.87%, while their funding rates remained positive at 0.0053% and 0.01%, respectively. Longs are still paying to hold their positions as prices weaken, so the risk from crowded positioning has not gone away.

Spot markets have not completely lost support.
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of $301 million over the full week, but flows had turned negative by the weekend, suggesting that mid-term capital remains while short-term follow-through is weakening.
The sentiment reading is holding at 50, which also means the market has not entered panic territory. A single liquidation event should not be mistaken for a bottom.

Funding rates in smaller contracts show pressure building at both extremes.
UNITREE’s funding rate has dropped to -0.932%, while BOT and EWZ are at -0.787% and -0.669%, respectively. Shorts are overly concentrated, making a rebound prone to triggering forced short covering.
At the other end, USDBRL’s funding rate has climbed to +0.375%, signaling a clear risk of crowded longs as well.

The key risk level at midday remains $80,000.
A move back above that level, a halt in the decline in open interest, and continued strengthening in active buying would be needed to confirm that support is taking hold. If prices remain below it while the proportion of longs stays near 69%, the pressure from another round of liquidations has not gone away.
