$MVLL This rally setup is going against today’s macro environment. CNBC reported that US stocks fell on August 20, and Treasury yields are still heading higher—so even the Treasury’s debt buyback repo couldn’t hold them down. The market is worried that rising borrowing costs will weigh on businesses. Against this backdrop, $MVLL rose 14.235% over the past 24 hours, reaching a price of 35.23.
I believe this move is driven by earnings expectations, not a macro turnaround. A single-source feed shows that Marvell Technology will release its earnings report after the close on Thursday, with market consensus EPS at $0.93. Money has been entering a few days early to bet on this event. In a high-rate environment, pulling a rally against the trend is essentially short-term event-driven capital placing a bet against macro headwinds.
Now look at the funding structure. fundingRate is 0.00002726—positive. That means longs are paying shorts. Price rising on top of a positive funding rate is the classic “long chasing” structure. Anyone entering now has to absorb a cost each settlement cycle. That money flows directly into the counterparty’s order book. OI is 97357.85. I don’t have a comparable prior value, so from just this number I can’t judge the magnitude—but the positive funding rate already signals the direction: longs aren’t cheap.
It’s very clear who is bearing the cost. The leveraged longs paying to hold positions overnight. If yields keep rising after earnings are released, and the VIX rises along with them, this batch of leveraged capital will be more sensitive than anyone. They’re not that they don’t believe the earnings report—it’s that they can’t afford the cost of capital.
The bearish side has one hard piece of evidence. If the actual EPS comes in higher than $0.93, the stock’s price action could easily overpower the rising yields in the short term—this kind of thing isn’t rare during earnings season. My bearish view would need to be invalidated; I’d have to see two signals at the same time: first, after earnings, $MVLL keeps rising and exceeds today’s 14.235% gain; second, funding flips from positive to negative, meaning shorts start receiving payments. If both conditions appear, it would suggest that the macro headwind is actually being used as a washout tool—and then I would turn bullish.
As for action: I won’t chase today. Price is 35.23 and the gain is 14.235%. At this point, the upside odds aren’t attractive enough. If the fundingRate turns from positive to negative from here, or if OI starts clearly turning downward, that would indicate leveraged longs are withdrawing—then we can talk after a pullback. This setup is only suitable for those already on the train to keep holding; it’s not for newcomers to pile in.
For three people.
