SOXL rallied from 113 to the 125 peak in one sweep. Over 4 hours there were 6 candlesticks with five yang and one yin, net up 8.69%. The price is already more than three points above the MA50—everyone can see it’s rising. But the futures side looks a bit different: the open interest position count actually got cut by 4.18% over 7 hours, and the funding rate is still sitting in negative territory. The price is pushing up, but leverage isn’t keeping up.
This move in price is being pushed by active buy orders: the buy-side fill ratio is 66.3%, volume increased by about 50% over 7 hours, and in the spot order book, the bid depth at level 1 is pressing while the ask at level 1 is being held down. Combined with the negative funding rate and the reduced open-interest position count, what it reads as isn’t that new longs don’t have money—it looks like shorts are getting squeezed. Shorts are paying back, and the tripled-leverage product gets squeezed the hardest.
The whales’ long/short ratio is 4.75 and they’re still adding (+3.93%), in line with the big players’ direction. But net positions are decreasing, suggesting that near the highs some people are taking profits. That doesn’t necessarily mean a reversal—it just means don’t expect it to go straight up without turning back.
Bullish. Pull back to 120.9—if it doesn’t break, keep holding long. First target: poke above the 24h high at 125.3; if it breaks, then look higher. Risk: after the short squeeze ends, the funding rate turns positive and the open-interest position count expands again, but the price can’t make a new high—when the active buy order ratio falls below 50%, it’s time to stop. #soxl $SOXL
