The old dog took a glance: in the past 24 hours, $SNDK rose by 7.128%, bringing the price to 1325.25000, with open interest at 202938.61. Even more striking is that the funding rate is still -0.00021284, which translates to about -0.021284%. As the price moves upward, shorts are still paying. This combination looks a lot like shorts holding positions being squeezed; the short-term momentum doesn’t fully come from new long inflows.
Putting it into the cycle of the semiconductor and AI chain, $SNDK is currently closer to the expected expansion phase: funds trade first for demand elasticity, then wait for fundamental confirmation. The成交量 (trading volume) field reached 4834524352.8309, suggesting very intense position rotation, but high turnover can also amplify drawdowns. Since funding is below zero, the meaning is that shorts are paying longs—representing a more crowded short side. If the price continues to surge upward, it’s easy to trigger a short squeeze; if the price just chops sideways and funding returns to positive, then chasing longs start to become crowded, and the nature of the tape changes.
With the coin list being empty, I won’t force a guess about which peers are up this week, so for now I can only confirm that SNDK itself has a relatively strong combination of price, funding, and OI.
My counter-consensus view is: when the market sees a single-day gain of 7.128% and calls it a top, I’m temporarily against that. Negative funding paired with rising price suggests short pressure could still be turning into buy pressure, but the high OI also means de-leveraging could happen quickly. If 1325.25000 holds, with funding still negative and OI not shrinking suddenly, I will add from a small position up to about half. If it drops back below 1325.25000 while OI continues to rise, I’ll cut first—so as to avoid a sharp selloff that can follow when both longs and shorts stack leverage. If funding flips positive and the price can’t push higher, I won’t chase and will instead observe.
The old dog previously also clung to a squeeze situation as a trend for too long, and in the end it got stuck because turnover was too high and couldn’t get out. This time, I’ll focus on funding and OI first before talking about conviction.
