APR is currently around 0.205u, and I’ve just come off a sudden plunge.
In the past 24 hours, it was crushed from 0.566 down to 0.175—down more than 60%. The whole process took only one or two candles, a textbook example of high volatility and a small-cap coin being stomped.
But after it slammed into the 0.18 area, the price didn’t keep breaking down—instead it started to retrace, and the 4-hour chart also turned red/positive.
There’s a signal here worth watching: when price stays range-bound at the low levels, contract open interest rose by 16% over seven hours, and the large account long ratio also ticked up—someone is picking up at the lows, not just retail dip-buyers.
However, we also can’t ignore the other side: in the spot order book, the sell-side orders are still about twice the buy-side, and even on active trades, sell orders still hold the advantage. Selling pressure has weakened compared to before, but it hasn’t reached the level that would confirm a full reversal.
So my take is: the downtrend is very likely nearing its end, but whether it can actually play out as a rebound depends on whether 0.18 and 0.20 can be held. The circulating share is under 30%, the float is thin, so when it rises the move can be big—and if it breaks down, it can be just as fast.
I won’t chase here. I’ll observe first. Once it stabilizes, we’ll talk—if it breaks down, I’ll撤 (pull out).
