TAO this round follows spot, not futures. The price rallied up to the 7-day high of 261—before that, in the past 24 hours it was up nearly 9%. The money to raise the parade is all in spot: in the last 3 hours, the fund flow has been positive for 12 consecutive candlesticks. And the 15-minute active buy orders are 6.3 times the sell orders—this is large orders net buying, not retail just hopping on.
The futures side is exactly the opposite: in active trades, buys account for only 46%, and the big players’ long position share also dropped by 2 percentage points. It looks like distribution, but the price simply hasn’t been pushed down—spot has absorbed all the selling pressure. The chips are being accumulated into the hands of the longs, not escaping outward.
Something even more solid: this rally has hardly relied on leverage. The funding rate is sitting at 0.005%, the basis is 0.01%, and the futures contract isn’t “running hot.” Open interest has increased by 8% even after seven hours. As price rises and position rises, the funding rate stays cool—this is a healthy long structure, not an inflated one.
So I directly choose longs. The spot engine is still turning—follow the capital flow; don’t pay attention to the noise on the futures side.
Reversal signals: if the spot 3-hour net inflow flips to negative, or if the price falls back below 252 (the 15-minute moving average), immediately pull the long orders; also be cautious if the funding rate spikes above 0.05%. #tao $TAO
