SKHY is currently around 164. The momentum from 155 back up has been fading, and it drained at around 169. Let me state the conclusion first—I'm not chasing this spot, and I'm not in a hurry to go flat or go all in; I'm just waiting for the direction.
First, the most obvious part: the open interest for contracts has been declining—down about 14% in a day. The prior rise wasn't built by new money piling in; it was old positions taking profits and stepping back. If you want the bounce to keep going, you need fresh positioning to take over—but that handoff hasn't happened. The price slid down in a steady, bearish drift from the highs, and the 20 and 50 lines are all pressing overhead.
Now look at the smart money: whale accounts have over 60% positioned long and they’re still adding; even the long-vs-short allocation has been shifting upward. But don’t get too excited—positions are moving in, while price hasn't followed. It's the same pattern as the last few rounds.
The good side is also there: the funding rate is hovering near zero, so longs aren't crowded. On the spot order book, buy orders are still leaning heavily against sell orders. So this isn't a collapse—it's just that it can't rise further and is grinding.
In plain terms, the odds here are average. If it goes higher, we need to wait for OI to refill and for the price to reclaim above 168 before discussing. If it goes down, only after the level around 161’s base is truly broken should you consider it. In the middle stretch, let sidelined traders rest; for those who already have positions, don’t add.
We'll wait for it to pick a direction on its own.
