Contract Order Book Daily | 8/28 Prices and Position Balance Rise Together; Short Covering Accelerates

In the morning order book, the most striking thing is not the return to 80,000, but that prices and leverage are rising in sync.
Marked price 80238 USD for <[0-9]{11}> $BTC , up 2.01%; open interest increases to 8.729 billion USD, up 5%.
New positions are moving faster than the price, indicating the rebound is attracting leverage to enter.

The ratio of aggressive buy/sell orders rises to 1.13; aggressive buying exceeds selling by about 13%, but the share of long accounts is only 48%.
Statistics suggest that within one hour, about 80 million USD in shorts were liquidated. Current momentum comes from both aggressive buying and shorts being forced to cover.
The funding rate is positive at 0.0079%, and the Fear & Greed Index rises to 71—chasing price sentiment has entered the “greed” zone.

<[0-9]{11}> $SOL is up 9.48%, yet the funding rate is negative at -0.001%.
With the price surging sharply while shorts are still paying funding, this kind of divergence can easily continue to squeeze shorts—and it also implies that when a pullback happens, volatility will not be small.

Next, 6.4 billion USD worth of Bitcoin options are set to expire, while the price is also nearing the 81,000 USD level ahead of the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole event.
If 80,000 USD is held and aggressive buying remains, 81,000 USD will continue to test the ability of shorts to withstand pressure.
If price falls back below 80,000 USD and open interest does not decline, newly added leverage may shift from a booster to a de-leveraging pressure.

On-the-record trade log: This account currently holds $FOGO long positions; with the original logic unchanged, continue to hold.
