The order book first gave me a signal: SKHYNIX was pulled up to 1231, grinding right under the 24-hour high of 1240.5. Spot orders are showing sell pressure on the book, yet that sell pressure is nearly three times the buy pressure (the bid side is down to only 35% of the offers). Yesterday I went short at this level around 1220—the price did indeed push up another leg—but the order book didn’t turn stronger. Instead, it flipped from buy-dominant to sell-pressure stacking on top.
What really sent chills down my spine was the “whales.” As price rose and futures open interest climbed by 2%, the big players’ long positions were cut by 7.88%, and the number of long accounts dropped by 5.11%—the most knowledgeable crowd was retreating during the upswing. The average futures fee rate is still sitting below the zero line, which indicates this move isn’t being driven by leveraged consensus. The share of active buying is 54.9% and looks lively, but the actual impact is only this amount of movement.
In plain terms, this is a play where price moves first and funds withdraw afterward. Retail longs in the contracts are chasing, while the smarter money is reducing longs; sell orders are layering up across the order book.
So at this level I’m standing on the short side: short around 1231. On the pullback, I’m looking first at 1214, then 1202. If it takes out 1240.5 on increased volume to make a new high, then I’m wrong—I’ll cut the loss and admit it. I won’t fight the trend head-on.
