$T 24-hour increase of 38.091%, price 0.004992. Accompanied by a deeply negative funding rate of -0.00275862, with open interest reaching as high as 1.64 billion coins. This is a typical “shorts’ stop-loss triggered raid.”
Core judgment: What’s happening now is a rebound caused by a technical stop-loss by shorts, not a trend reversal. The deeply negative funding rate shows that the shorts are still stubbornly resisting, and the market lacks fuel for sustained upside.
The evidence chain shows conflicting signals: While the price surges sharply, the funding rate remains deeply negative (shorts paying), and open interest is growing at high levels. This looks like a war of attrition: shorts, under price pressure, are forced to shift their defense lines (stop-loss), but they have not left the battlefield (funding rate still negative and OI increasing). Meanwhile, longs have not established a solid position either (price not continuing to push higher).
Strong counter-evidence: If there is a massive buy order or a major positive catalyst, it could instantly flip the funding rate back to neutral or positive, along with a surge in OI, thereby driving the price to form an effective breakout.
Second-order impact: Persistent negative funding rates will continuously drain shorts’ capital costs, forcing some of them to eventually close their positions and exit. This may provide short-term support for the price. However, if the bulls cannot push through the key levels in one go, later profit-taking and newly added shorts will form a selling pressure, and the rally is likely to quickly fizzle out.
