Over the past 24 hours, $LITE fell 3.945%, and the price is 861.74. The downtrend is still continuing—what matters is whether the bulls can hold their ground.
The funding rate is 0.00005643. A positive funding rate means longs are paying shorts. As the price drops, longs are still adding to their positions to average down the cost—this is a classic “trapped longs adding” structure. Open interest is 11092 lots. At this level, longs are clearly concentrated; once the price breaks down, it can easily trigger a chain of stop-losses.
The strongest counter-evidence would be if the semiconductor sector suddenly receives a policy tailwind—sentiment could be lifted in one burst. But right now, I’m not seeing any such signals. Weakness is still weakness. The second-order effects are very clear here: the longs’ cost is shifting downward, so stop orders should become increasingly dense. Breaking below a certain psychological level could trigger a cascade of selling.
My invalidation condition is if the price climbs back above 880. If it reclaims that level, it would indicate a strong bull offensive and invalidate the short thesis.
In terms of execution: simply open a short position. Use 5x leverage, set a stop-loss at 880, and take profit around 820. Start with half a position. If it breaks below 840, you can consider adding.
