$SKDD fell 5.324% in the past 24 hours; the quote is 9.78—these are the facts you can directly see on the order book.
My view is that this single-day drop, together with the zero funding-rate, suggests that the selling pressure comes more from the spot market via active selling, rather than from a long/short squeeze in the derivatives market.
The evidence comes from two angles. First, the price drop of 5.324% is clear, but the open interest is still at a scale of 15,353.58. Even though the price has fallen, open interest has not decreased by a correspondingly large amount. Another key signal is the funding rate (fundingRate) at 0.00000000. This means neither side currently needs to pay the other. Market sentiment on the derivatives side is balanced—or even a bit hesitant—without overcrowding that is extremely bullish or bearish. In such a funding-rate environment, a significant one-sided selloff in price usually points to the spot market or active sell orders driving the move, rather than a derivatives market cascade liquidation.
The strongest counterargument is that this 5.324% decline might be a one-time sell-pressure wipeout. If, afterward, the price stabilizes around current levels and open interest gradually declines but the price no longer makes new lows, it could mean the passive selloff has already ended. The market is not limited to only one path downward.
The second-order effect is that current position holders face a choice. Price is falling but open interest isn’t dropping noticeably, which suggests some positions are still being held through the pain. If the price continues to fall, these positions will face greater unrealized-loss pressure, potentially triggering the next wave of stop-loss selling. For shorts, the zero funding cost means they can hold positions relatively calmly, but since the price has already dropped a chunk, downside space typically requires fresh negative catalysts. For off-exchange funds, with no funding cost for holding longs, they may be more inclined to wait for clearer support signals as the trend points downward.
My invalidation conditions are very clear: if, next, the price rebounds quickly and recovers most of the losses while open interest increases sharply, that would indicate the drop was not driven mainly by spot, but that the short power in the derivatives market was instantly crushed—and my analytical framework would no longer apply. Also, if the price trades sideways at this level but open interest slowly yet steadily drops a lot, it would mean longs are admitting losses and exiting, which would strengthen the continuation of the downtrend.
So my action is: keep observing, no rush to enter.
