The curling iron on the vanity still hadn’t been unplugged—I squatted on the ground and watched $Lobster. It felt like one of those emotionally “overhyped” people: they charge in super fast, and they might turn around super fast too. Doudou beside me kept pawing at my slippers, even calmer than I was 😂
It can climb into the rankings not just because it’s up 65.29%.
More importantly, the futures side is just too hot.
In the last 24 hours, futures contract trading volume has already reached 389.30M USDT. With that kind of size on a hot coin, it shows it’s not just a few people messing around—lots of short-term funds have squeezed in.
And look at the funding rate: +0.0853%. That number isn’t “normal hotness” anymore.
It’s simple: the longs are willing to pay higher costs to get the spot, and sentiment is clearly skewed to one side.
Open interest is still 768,511,816 contracts of $Lobster. That makes it even more subtle.
The price has already surged this high, yet positions haven’t really come down. That suggests many people aren’t just taking profit and leaving—they still want to gamble on a follow-through move.
That’s also why I think it can make it into today’s contract gainers list #1 and the trading volume list #10 : it doesn’t look like pure spot buying slowly pushing it up—it looks more like the futures are amplifying the sentiment. The more it rises, the more people chase. The more people chase, the more the market gets floaty.
In a situation like this, I’ll be especially careful to check whether spot and futures are truly aligned.
If futures are clearly crazier than spot, then this move is likely to end up as “it looks strong, but it’s actually exhausting.”
Honestly, what these coins fear most isn’t that nobody’s watching. It’s that too many people are watching—and they’re all on the same side.
So I’m more inclined to observe rather than chase.
It’s not that it’s going to be bad immediately—at this level, if it keeps pushing higher, I’ll feel uneasy. Especially when you have a high funding rate plus high open interest still hanging out—once you turn your head even slightly, the volatility gets really uncomfortable.
If you want to trade, you can only go in lightly. Don’t treat emotion as certainty.
The market is changing—today’s move may not match tomorrow’s. $Lobster #hotcoin watch
