SOXS is now around 42.3u. The rally looks pretty strong, but I won’t chase at this level.
The short-term trend really is strong: it’s above the moving averages, with four-hour candles showing four greens and two reds, and over the past 24 hours it’s climbed nearly 10%. The momentum is right there—no need to deny that.
The problem is the quality of the capital. On the contract side, the active sell orders are pressing against the buy orders; the proportion of active buys is only 38%. Meanwhile, the big players’ long accounts and positions have been reducing for nearly 7 hours: the accounts are down more than 20%, and positions are down more than 10%. As the price pushes higher, the hands pushing it are actually pulling back.
Open interest is even more interesting: it spiked up by over 40% in a day, but has started cooling off over the last 7 hours. That suggests the short-term chasing money hasn’t truly held its ground before letting go. On the spot side, big orders don’t show clear signs of being absorbed either.
In plain terms: the rise is real, but the quality of whoever is taking the bids is deteriorating. Chasing longs at a spot like this is like betting on a weakening internal signal using the highest entry cost—the value-for-money is just average.
So my stance is: wait and observe. After this leg of strength, watch for a pullback and see whether anyone can pick up the selling. If the pullback gets absorbed, then the next leg has something to look at; if nobody steps in, then after the move has risen as much as it already did, the next downswing could be just as fast.
