Contract Quant Brief #155|BR is 1.7% away from the 20 MA prioritized; KAT day +32% · OI1h +54% only observe
【Market】 regime=wait-and-see. In the short list, opportunities still exist, but the structure has clearly differentiated: some are clinging to the 20 MA, while others have big daily bullish candles yet with abnormal position accumulation swelling. Today we don’t do “chasing strength across the board”—we sort strictly by distance to MAs, fee rate, and changes in OI 1h. Key facts (from real-time screening): - $BR : up about +15.6% today; 1h/6h are almost flat (about -0.4%/-0.2%); about +1.7% away from the 20 MA; about +6.8% away from the 50 MA; OI 1h about +9.1%; fee rate slightly positive (about +0.014%); current price about 0.3155 - $MINA : up about +14.2% today; 6h still about +6.0%; 1h pullback about -1.4%; about +2.8% away from the 20 MA; OI 1h about +13.4%; fee rate clearly negative (about -0.17%); current price about 0.0925
Contract Quant Brief #154|FORM OI1h +29% prioritized for a pullback to the 3% MA zone; FF at 7% from the 20MA not chasing
【Order Book】continuation. The market is extending the move. Select the top three with roughly 24–28% daily gains. Funding rates are overall relatively low (about 0.004–0.008% scale), and the trend is not immediately invalidated by funding overheating. The difference is structural, not just slogans: FORM shows about +28% daily, about +6.9% over 6h, but only a slight dip in 1h (around -0.4%), while OI over 1h is about +29%—a short-term pullback alongside rapid position buildup. Distance from the 20MA is only about 3.2%, and from the 50MA about 10.8%. U_SEL ESS has a higher turnover (about 420 million U), about +24% daily, about +4.3% over 6h, with 1h still slightly positive; OI over 1h is only about +6.4%, and distance from the 20MA is about 5.2%. FF also has about +24% daily, but it is about 7.3% from the 20MA and about 14.9% from the 50MA—more stretched, so it should only be observed as an alternative.
Contract Quant Brief #153|AKE 6h+1% near the MA (0.5%), SOPH OI+129% — not done
【Order-book facts | 2026-09-08】 regime=continuation. The first three (AKE / SOPH / IOST) have similar scores (about 34.0–34.9), but their structures are very different, so they cannot be traded “the same way” simply because they are similarly scored. AKE: daily rise about +19%, 1h -0.2%, 6h only +1.2%; distance to the 20-MA about 0.5%, distance to the 50-MA about 1.9%; funding rate about 0.005%; OI 1h -6.9%. SOPH: daily rise about +38%, 6h already +14.4%; distance to the 20-MA about 9%, distance to the 50-MA about 21%; funding rate about 0.045%; OI 1h +128.7%. IOST: daily rise about +28%, OI 1h +91.9%, but 6h is already about -2.3%. Continue prioritizing the city with the best setup: “trend not broken + near the MA + low leverage cost.” Those with the biggest daily rise and a sharp OI surge, but far away from the MA, are removed from the chase list.
Futures Quant Brief #152 | FLOCK 1.5% from 20-day MA prioritized, TIA OI +17% · 8% from MA not chased
Market facts (continuation): among the top three, all daily gains are between +16% and +20%, but the structures are very different. $TIA 6h +11%, about 8% away from the 20-day MA, OI 1h +17% — price and volume rose in mid-air; $FLOCK daily gain about +17.5%, only about 1.5% away from the 20-day MA, 1h roughly flat, OI 1h only +3.5%, more like strong near-MA consolidation; $ZEC daily gain nearly +20%, but 6h is almost flat and OI 1h is negative, so momentum and positioning are not in sync. A continuation market is valid, but that does not mean all three can be chased. The approach is derived from the data: the closer to the 20-day MA and OI has not spiked at high levels → prioritize near-MA / pullback entries; if the distance from the 20-day MA widens while OI 1h expands abnormally → do not take half-air breakout continuation longs; if the daily gain is strong but OI falls and the short timeframe flattens → move it off the main watchlist.
Perpetual Quant Brief #151 | SUSHI OI +128% hugging 20 MA prioritized, BULLA 1h +12% · OI falling, no chase
The market is clearly diverging: the names screened into the front row are all up around 20% on the day, but their structures differ a lot. The regime is wait-and-see, prioritizing those that are "MA-hugging + clean funding structure" and avoiding 1-hour straight-line pumps where positions are actually falling. Today’s main line is $SUSHI , with $BULLA under observation; $XAN is only an alternative and will not be expanded on. [Top 1 | $SUSHI ] Current price is around 0.2478, up about 22% on the day, about +3.7% over 6h, and slightly down about -0.7% over 1h. The key is that it is only about +0.2% away from the 20-period moving average, basically hugging the MA; about +9.7% from the 50-period MA; 1h open interest change is about +128% (abnormally large); funding rate is slightly negative. Volume is about 160M USDT level, enough to trade.
Contract Quant Brief #150|Prefer KITE sticking to the 20 SMA by 2%, don’t chase MUBARAK day+32%·OI1h+36%
Today’s tape: the regime is continuation, and the continuity is still there; the funding rate is overall controllable. In the shortlist, the spread in structure is wide—$KITE daily gain about 15.6%, only about 2.2% from the 20 SMA; 1h/6h are basically flat, funding rate about 0.005%, OI 1h only +3.8%, which is an executable structure where it’s risen but still贴均. Compared with $MUBARAK daily gain about 32%, about 10.6% from the 20 SMA and 20.5% from the 50 SMA, plus OI 1h abnormally amplified by about +35.9% while 1h has weakened (about -0.18%). This is a high-level crowded name and not suitable to chase as the main line. $CLO daily gain about 29.5%, about 3.1% from the 20 SMA—structure is still okay, but the funding rate is about 0.072%, clearly higher than the top two, so only as a backup to observe.
Contract Quant Brief #149|STAR OI+20%贴20均1% priority, MAGMA 10% away from MA—do not chase
Market facts (data point around 2026-09-02 08:00+08): the regime is wait-and-see. Structure is clearly differentiated—though both belong to the daily strong cohort, STAR is up about +19.7% today, only about 1.1% away from the 20-day MA, and its 1h OI change is about +20.2%; but the 6h is already around -1.7%. MAGMA is up about +21.0% daily and still around +9.1% on 6h, yet it is about 9.6% away from the 20-day MA and 17.3% away from the 50-day MA. Funding rates are close between the two (on the order of ~0.04%); the difference is not the emotional direction, but whether the “position” and “position/increment magnitude” match. The approach is derived from the data, not slogans: prioritize structural levels when near the MA + OI anomaly amplifies. High upside + far-from-MA directly downgrades it; no chasing price. Being wait-and-see doesn’t mean going idle with no position—it means the trigger conditions are written in stone.
Contract Quant Brief #148|FLOCK glued to 20 MA at 0.1% OI+106% prioritized, ARB day +30% away from MA 14% downgraded
[Market] The continuation filter rationale is that continuation is still intact; the fee rate overall is controllable. Prefer targets whose trend structure has not been broken and whose price is not pulling too far away from key moving-average lines. Today’s top shortlist is $NOT , $FLOCK , and $ARB , but the only executable main line is the first two. ARB’s day’s gain is about 30% and distance to the 20 MA is about 14%, so it is only for backup observation, not a formal recommendation. The clearest differentiation from the data is in three points: 1) $FLOCK Being about 0.1% from the 20 MA, it is almost glued to the MA band. Turnover is about 111 million, OI 1h is about +106%, and momentum and positions are amplified in sync; 2) $NOT The day’s gain is about 17.8%. Distance to the 20 MA is about 2.6%, distance to the 50 MA is about 8.4%. OI 1h is about +51%, and the fee rate is close to neutral;
Contract Quant Brief #147|UAI OI +28% and 5% from MA prioritized; HEMI day +21% with weaker OI downgrade
【Market】Continuation—slightly bullish bias. In the top shortlist, the first three days all rose by +21% to +35%, but the structure has diverged: UAI is up ~35% on the day, only ~5.3% away from the 20 MA; 1h OI is +27.5%, and volume is about 82 million. HEMI is up ~21% on the day, still +13% over 6h, but it is ~11% away from the 20 MA; 1h OI is only +1.5%. ZORA is up ~27% on the day; 1h OI surges by about +47%, and the rate turns negative. Strong doesn’t mean homogeneous—today we sort by “closer to the MA + OI confirmation,” not by blindly chasing the largest daily gain. 【Position】Keep only two official candidates on the main line: $UAI /> preferred, and $HEMI /> downgrade for observation. $ZORA /> is reduced to a backup and no recommendation is expanded. In the high-stretch segment, do not chase longs by breaking the current price by default—only take pullbacks back near the moving average, and only if volume/OI do not diverge.
Contract Quant Brief #146|CLO close to 20-MA 0.4% day +25% prioritized, ZKP distance to MA 6% · O OI +97% observe
【Order book】regime=continuation. First three snapshots: CLO day gain about +24.6%, distance to 20-MA about 0.45%, OI 1h +14.3%; ZKP day gain about +16.1%, 6h about +7.9%, but distance to 20-MA about 5.9% and to 50-MA about 10.6%; O day gain about +17.4%, close to 20-MA about 0.8%, yet OI 1h about +97%. Funding rate overall is controllable (CLO≈0.019%, ZKP≈0.005%, O≈0.041%); it’s not a funding-rate squeeze market—just selecting the best structure within the continuation. Today’s differential: only use the CLO setup that is “close to the MA + trend not broken” as the main line; ZKP has strong volume heat but is already extended—downgrade and only consider on a pullback; O, because OI 1h is near doubling, is removed from the official watchlist—only observe.
Contract Quant Brief #145 | $我踏马来了: OI +17% and closer to MA has priority; $AKE day +65%, ~22% above the MA—no chase
【Order book/market view】 regime=continuation. Fees are overall controllable. The first two are not “re-raise when already stretched”; instead the daily is still red, 1h is flat, and the price is贴 near the 20-MA. The 3rd $AKE is up ~65% on the day and ~22% above the 20-MA; it’s left the actionable pullback band—only observe. Key data: • $我踏马来了: day +10.2%, 6h +6.7%, 1h ≈ 0, ~1.8% above the 20-MA, ~5.4% above the 50-MA, OI 1h +16.7%, fees ≈ 0.005%, current price 0.01131 • $TRUMP : day +7.5%, 6h +5.6%, 1h ≈ 0, ~0.9% above the 20-MA, ~5.2% above the 50-MA, OI 1h +7.6%, about $1.11B U notional, current price 2.738 • $AKE : day +65%, 6h +29%, ~22% above the 20-MA, fees ≈ 0.034%, OI 1h slightly negative → downgrade, no chase
Contract Quant Brief #144|BEAMX volume 120M · OI +24% closer to MAs prioritized; BLESS day +28% OI only +2% de-prioritized
【Market snapshot】 Screening time 08:00 (+08), regime=continuation: the continuation is still there, and the funding/fee rate is generally controllable. The top three gain in the past three days are all in the 23%–28% range, but the quality and positioning differ a lot—don’t make a decision based on gain alone. Key facts: 1) $BEAMX Turnover is about 119 million, significantly higher than the rest of the group; OI in 1h is +23.8%, only about 2.8% away from the 20-MA; fee rate about 0.005% (very low). 2) $BLESS Daily gain about +27.7%, 6h +8.1%—moves more aggressively, but it is about 6.6% away from the 20-MA and about 15.3% away from the 50-MA. OI in 1h is only +2.4%, with volume about 0.37B. 3) $CLO Daily gain about +27.8%, but 1h has turned negative (about -0.17%); fee rate is about 0.035% and rather high—only as alternative watch.
Futures Quant Brief #143|FART: 120M volume; expect 1h to turn neutral main focus, PUMP: OI +26%, only consider if near MAs
【Market snapshot】Continuation remains relatively strong, but the front row has already shown “turning neutral 1 hour after a volume expansion,” so it’s not advisable to treat the breakout spike as the main strategy. Official Top picks: $FARTCOIN (36.96), $PUMPBTC (32.61); $MAGMA Daily gain over 40% and distance to MA20 about 13%—only for watchlist observation. Data anchor: - FARTCOIN: Day +16.6%, 6h +9.6%, 1h -0.14%. Trading volume about 117 million U. OI (1h) +12.7%. Distance to MA20 about 5.6%, to MA50 about 10.7%. Current price 0.2167. Funding rate near neutral. - PUMPBTC: Day +26.8%, 6h +1.6%, 1h -0.08%. Trading volume about 23 million U. OI (1h) +26.2%. Distance to MA20 about 3.8%, to MA50 about 11.6%. Current price 0.01317.
Contracts Quant Brief #142|BR pinned to the 20-day avg≈0% day +21% priority; TAC OI +46% vs 50-day avg at +17%—do not chase
【Market Facts|2026-08-26 08:00+08】 regime=continuation. The top three selected are all high-volatility contracts with daily gains of about 17%–21%. The funding rate is still within a controllable range overall (highest about 0.035%), and there is no sign of broadly crowded long positions. Structural differences matter more than “who is up more.” BR is almost pinned to the 20-day average (dist20≈-0.04%). TAC is still strong on the daily chart, but it has pulled about +17% above the 50-day average; additionally, 1h OI has been abnormally amplified by about +46%. ONG has the largest trading volume, but its volume has already retraced about -2.1% over the past 6h, so it is only a secondary observation option. Trade logic derived from the data: continue to prioritize assets in the market that meet all of the following—(1) the trend is not broken, (2) the price has returned near the moving average, and (3) OI/funding rate are not extremely stretched. For positions that have drifted far away from the mid-term moving averages and rely only on volume spikes at the “tip,” downgrade them by default and do not chase.
Contract Quant Brief #141 | PROM day +26% · OI 1h +48% prioritized for being near the MA; PORTAL with negative funding rate downgraded
[Market facts | wait-and-see] Top 3: PROM (35.4), PORTAL (32.3), ONG (32.3). The opportunity is still there, but the structure is diverging: PROM is up about +26% on the day, nearly flat over 1h, about -2% over 6h, and about -0.9% from the 20MA (sticking near the MA). OI in 1h is about +48%, volume about $330M (3.3e8 U), funding is near-neutral. PORTAL is up about +25% on the day, about +2.2% from the 20MA, up slightly over 6h, but funding is about -0.066% and OI in 1h only about +1.5%—volume expansion and position changes are out of sync. ONG is up about +17% on the day, about +8% over 6h, and about +8.3% from the 20MA; after stretching, just observe. Today’s playbook is inferred from the data: within the names that are rising, use differential logic—prioritize those that are near the MA and have real OI add-on. If funding is negative and positions can’t keep up, downgrade; don’t chase if it’s far from the 20MA.
Contract Quant Brief #140|MORPHO +26% on the day · OI +27% · 10% away from MA — pull back to 2.63 is what we do
【Market】continuation is mildly bullish, but the top shortlist has already clearly moved away from the moving averages: MORPHO is up about +25.6% on the day, around +10.3% above the 20-day MA; GRASS is up about +23.2% on the day, around +10.0% above the 20-day MA. Both still show +8% to +9% momentum over 6h, but the 1h has turned flat to a slight pullback (-0.1% to -0.3%), indicating the odds of blindly chasing tops are getting worse. More importantly, the position structure: MORPHO’s OI is +26.7% over 1h, with成交 amount around the 0.86 hundred-million USDT scale; capital is still adding, but it’s “adding at high levels.” GRASS’s OI is +17.5% over 1h, yet the funding rate is about 0.0194% (higher than MORPHO’s 0.005%), meaning higher friction cost even though both are strong.
Contract Quant Brief #139|PUMP main line with +22% daily · OI +13%, ENA OI falls—only watch
【Market view】 regime=continuation: Continuation is still intact, and funding rates overall are not extreme. The top two on the short list are $PUMP , $STX where "price up + OI 1h double-digit uplift" appears in sync. For #3 $ENA , while it is closer to the 20-MA and has a larger traded amount, OI 1h is falling, so the structure is one tier weaker and it is not a formal candidate. Key comparison (from real-time screening): - PUMP: up about +22.5% daily, about +3.5% over 6h, nearly flat over 1h (+0.3%); quote volume about 684 million; funding rate about +0.005%; about +4.8% from the 20-MA and +12.8% from the 50-MA; OI 1h about +12.8%; current price 0.00498, ATR about 0.000217.
Contract quant summary #138|ENA close to the 20-MA by 1.3% · Volume 1.3B priority, WIF OI1h-5.5% downgraded
[Market facts] regime=continuation:short-term continuation is still present, and the overall funding/fee rate is controllable. Three of the top picks are strong contracts with daily gains roughly 20–22%, but the structures differ—volume, distance to the 20-MA, and changes in OI 1h pull the priority apart. Key comparison (only using the current selection): • $ENA :Day +22.0%, current price 0.1424, distance to 20-MA only about 1.3%, distance to 50-MA about 14.5%; traded value about 1.35B U; fee rate about 0.0136%; OI 1h +15.2%. Largest volume, closest to the 20-MA, and OI still adding over the past 1 hour. • $WIF :Day +21.5%, current price 0.1995, distance to 20-MA about 6.3%, distance to 50-MA about 15.1%; traded value about 67M U; fee rate about 0.005%; 6h +8.5%, but OI 1h −5.5%. The upside pace isn’t weak, but both volume magnitude and closeness-to-MA conditions are clearly weaker than ENA. In the last 1 hour, positions are being reduced.
Contract Quant Brief #137|BOME 3% from the 20-MA, 500M volume prioritized; SANTOS 6h +15% downgraded
[Market] Continuation is relatively bullish. The front-runners aren’t “just going up”—it’s the combination of volume and positions being lifted together: SANTOS and BOME both have OI 1h in the +58% range, suggesting longs are still adding, not just a needle move. But the structure differs a lot—BOME is up about +34% daily and only about 3.4% from the 20-MA, with 6h at just +2.4%; it looks more like a sideways consolidation at high levels after a big move. SANTOS is up about +18% daily, 6h still +14.8%, about 7.5% from the 20-MA—its short-term stretch is deeper. Fees on both sides are close to neutral (around 0.005%), so it isn’t an extremely crowded fee-market. The core contradiction is simply: which is more expensive and which is closer to the moving average.
