SK HYNIX is currently around 1009.

First, let’s look at the location. In the past 24 hours it spiked up to 1058 and then pulled back to here. The price is sitting right just below the short-term moving average line. Daily gains and losses are both small, so it’s basically moving sideways. It looks more like a high-level consolidation after a spike, not a trend start.

The issue is with the contract side. Open interest increased by 16% in a day, but the price didn’t move much. The new leverage coming in didn’t push the price up; instead, the proactive selling on the order book has a slight edge over proactive buying—proactive buys don’t even reach half. With this kind of combination, the price tends to be more sensitive to pullbacks.

The “whales” side is also contradictory. The overall direction of the account and positions is still long—about 80% of the positions are long—but within the last 7 hours the position ratio has been decreasing. That suggests the big direction hasn’t flipped short; it’s more like the market at the high level is beginning to hold back a bit.

It’s also not a full short. The funding rate is basically 0, so it hasn’t gotten overheated. On the order book, the buy side is thicker than the sell side, and there are buyers supporting the market in the short term. So there are reasons for both upside and downside; neither side has a clear advantage.

At this point, I’m not in a rush to chase. Either it will break back above the recent high with volume, or we should first see whether it can hold the support below. Since the data doesn’t give a one-sided answer, we’ll observe for now.
