$AMD rose 5.236% over the past 24 hours, but the funding rate remained completely flat at 0. This suggests the money is waiting and didn’t dare to place a big bet.
Why? The core of the Trump trade is uncertainty. He might impose trade protection that benefits domestic manufacturing, or he might cut subsidies and weigh on semiconductor investment. In such a scenario, smart money watches first and moves later—it doesn’t chase the headlines naked. So even though the price went up, the financing fee rate didn’t follow. With only this neutral positioning, I can’t tell who’s “barebacking” on the long or short side; I only see the market waiting for a stronger signal.
My current view is that before Trump’s victory speech or until clear policy implementation, $AMD is likely to stay in a high-range consolidation pattern. The strongest counter-evidence is: if he suddenly clearly names support for AI chips or a manufacturing reshoring push, then both the price and the funding rate would surge together. The second-order effect is that informed players may have already positioned in advance, and latecomers who buy afterward would be the ones chasing higher.
My trading plan is very clear: wait. If in later remarks Trump explicitly links semiconductors and AI infrastructure, I’ll add 20% to my existing position. I’ll set the stop-loss below 500. If the market turns and breaks below 500, that would indicate sentiment about his policy expectations has turned bearish, and I will completely remove all leveraged positions.
