$LUNC In this hour, a fairly typical “long-liquidation-style” pullback unfolded: within 3,600 seconds, the price retraced by about 8.3%, and open interest contracts shrank in tandem by 8.6%. This isn’t that the fundamentals suddenly weakened; rather, it’s a chain reaction of selling pressure triggered after highly leveraged long positions were repeatedly wiped out. Once the candlestick breaks a key level, three parties—stop-losses, forced liquidations, and momentum shorts chasing—resonate together, and in a short time both volume and price naturally look bad.
But if you look at it on a different scale, the picture is completely different: over the 24-hour window, $LUNC actually closed up 8.2%, and the 24h trading volume is also 11.82M, with a market cap of about 298 million. This suggests the current drop is more like a technical retracement after a high intraday spike, while mid-term capital is still stepping in to absorb. The market hasn’t lost its buyer-side structure yet. The de-risking and reduction at the contract level, in fact, helps squeeze out floating supply and excessive leverage in one round.
Going forward, focus on two areas: first, whether the liquidation wave is stabilizing—OI stopping its decline is usually the first signal; second, whether the daily chart can hold the launch platform from this round of上涨 (rally). As long as the mid-term long structure hasn’t been broken, these impulse-style pullbacks are often just a rhythm adjustment rather than a trend reversal. The real risk point is if OI continues to fall while price breaks below the prior low—then you need to watch for the downtrend to weaken again for a second time.
