67.89% short, yet the price rose 84%.
This is the most counterintuitive scene in today’s lobster market—the majority are bearish, and yet it’s up by nearly a factor of two.
Short positions make up more than two-thirds; in theory, the logic should point to a drop. But the market goes the opposite way, rallying from the low of 0.033 all the way to 0.0655—doubling the price directly.
This situation has a specific term: "short squeeze"—those who are short are forced to close their positions, which becomes fuel for the price to rise.
Funding rate is 0.00103%, a positive rate, meaning longs are paying shorts. In other words, even if longs make up only 32%, they’re the ones paying; meanwhile shorts are the ones getting charged—but the price still leaves them taking heavy losses.
Open interest is 760 million, not small. Three consecutive hourly candlesticks are green. The most recent one shows volume starting to fade—declining from 580 million gradually down to 128 million.
After the push, momentum is being consumed. The next thing to watch is whether the shorts continue to hold their ground or back down and admit defeat. The more shorts clear out, the less resistance the rally faces. But if volume contracts further, the strength driving the surge may weaken too.
High position, many shorts, shrinking volume—when these three signals appear at the same time, it’s worth paying attention.
