SOPH, FF, COTI: Early-morning high-level distribution warning. Tracked about 6 hours ago—now here’s the performance summary: 1 out of the 3 has already broken into a one-way decline (SOPH兑现). The other 2 are still in a tug-of-war and have not formed a one-way downside confirmation. The initial observation when it first started was that the order flow/chips were dispersed.

SOPH:兑现. The bearish judgment from the morning played out. After the initial release, the price continued to drop 9.89%, while open interest fell in parallel by 7.06%, and volume shrank by 22.48%. This suggests the move down wasn’t just a liquidation dump; it looks like capital is exiting. Bids didn’t step in to support, and the weakness in the tape is accompanied by declining open interest—so it doesn’t look like a fake drop.

FF: Tug-of-war. The price hasn’t broken into a one-way downside move yet, so the original direction hasn’t been confirmed/fulfilled. After the initial start, the price pulled back only 2.09%, but volume actually increased by 13.8%. Meanwhile, the aggressive buy/sell order flow is also slightly tilted to the buy side. This indicates the order book is still being contested—both sides are actively trading. The distribution direction hasn’t been confirmed by price yet.

COTI: Tug-of-war as well. No one-way decline has formed here either. The price fell 2.98%, and open interest decreased by 5.02%, but the aggressive buy/sell ratio dropped from 1.29 to 0.71, showing a clear weakening in bid strength. This implies there is selling pressure, but it hasn’t yet driven the price down into a trend—more like a standoff after the liquidity/holding support has thinned, rather than a confirmed down move.

Next, what to watch along this line: whether FF and COTI can extend the downside and “catch up” with the drop, whether open interest continues to move lower, and whether aggressive buying retreats further. For SOPH, focus on whether open interest and volume can continue contracting in sync; once support thickens again or aggressive buying picks back up, the original bearish judgment needs to be reassessed.
