SOXS is around 44.9 now. The past two days, it surged from 40.5 all the way to 45.27, but today it’s slowed down instead—within 24 hours it rose by just over two points.
The issue isn’t direction; it’s the handoff/turnover.
Trading volume jumped 25% in a day, but the price didn’t move much, and the funding rate is still hovering around near zero—this suggests a large amount of new positions are entering, but there’s no real directional push. This kind of “volume without price increase” position build looks more like leverage stacking up, not money actively attacking.
More obvious are the actions by the big players. On the account side, the long-side share is still about 60%, but over the day it’s been decreasing; on the position side, longs and shorts are basically 50/50. In plain terms, the real big money is quietly converging/retreating, not adding.
So I won’t chase this level.
It’s not a bearish take—just that the most comfortable part of this move has already played out. In the first two days, it pulled up seven or eight points in one go. Now the momentum is clearly slowing, and it has piled on a batch of fresh leverage. The odds aren’t attractive.
My plan is to wait. Either wait for a pullback to clean out the positions and ensure it can hold above 45, or wait for trading to pick back up and then follow the move again. If you chase in here now, the cost-effectiveness isn’t great.
