SKHYNIX is currently around 1246, right in the middle of the 24-hour high and low points. The price itself doesn’t show a clear direction.
But there’s an obvious change in the data: the contract open interest dropped by more than 9% in a day, while the price barely moved. When positions are being reduced and liquidated, in plain terms it’s leveraged positions exiting—not someone dumping to sell the market. The positioning gets washed out first; afterward, things are less crowded.
The funding rate also supports this: out of 8 samples, only 1 is positive, and the average is still slightly negative. The long side clearly isn’t clustered. On the other side, large accounts’ share of long positions is still above 70%, and over the past 7 hours, positions were added by nearly 8 percentage points. With contract open interest retreating and big accounts adding, the structure looks like it’s building strength after a washout.
But don’t rush to think it’s bullish. The sell wall is about 20% thicker than the buy wall, and the supply pressure from above—especially up to 1274—keeps weighing on the market. Although the price has moved above the 20/50 moving averages, the 24-hour trend is still downward, and there’s no obvious expansion in volume, so a breakout isn’t really on the table.
So my stance is to wait and see. Once the positioning washout is done, the funding rate is bearish, and big accounts are adding longs—the combination looks like accumulation. But until the price actually breaks out and holds above the 1222–1274 range, chasing either side is basically a gamble. Wait for it to pick a direction with volume and then confirm; if it breaks below 1222, just avoid it.
