The old dog glanced over: $KORU is currently quoted at 16.57000, down 10.626% over the past 24 hours, with a trading value of 1,223,447,849.7328. Both the price drop and turnover are expanding—don’t rush to treat this volatility as a cheap entry signal yet.

For semiconductor and AI-chain trading, the market’s focus is on cycle expectations. Prices often run ahead of the fundamentals. Right now, without comparable data from peers, it’s not defensible to claim that $KORU is leading the sector or simply due for a rebound. The funding rate is 0.00032426 and positive, meaning longs are paying shorts—so the long side is still crowded. With a drop alongside a positive funding rate, it looks more like trapped positions are continuing to hold their bags, and liquidation pressure hasn’t been fully released yet. OI is 3,610,639.21—next, watch whether it keeps falling together with the price.

My counter-consensus is: a 10% drop doesn’t mean risk has been fully flushed out. If $KORU breaks below 16.57000 and OI doesn’t decline, I won’t enter—I’ll keep observing. Only if it reclaims 16.57000 while OI falls and the positive funding rate cools down will I try a small position. For now, I won’t touch a heavy position, and I definitely won’t go against the crowded longs by hard-buying the dip.

Last time, the old dog tried to use stubbornness from the longs as a sign of strength, and in the end, even that was taught a lesson—by the funding rate.
