$DRAM 24 hours down 5.553%, price stalled at 58.85, trading volume 148 million USD, and the funding rate is still positive at 0.00002772. Bulls keep paying the shorts, but the price couldn’t hold—this setup looks rather striking in the semiconductor sector.
Old dog took a look: when the funding rate is greater than zero, it usually means the long positions are crowded. Since the price is still falling, bulls are hard-holding while adding to positions at a negative-cost burden. Open interest is 880,000 contracts; at 58.85, the total exposure isn’t small. Once it breaks down, it can easily trigger a cascade of liquidations. In the semiconductor cycle, this kind of “funding positive while price grinds lower” often shows up in the early stage of a bubble being squeezed—not at the bottom.
My view is that $DRAM still needs to probe lower in the near term. The strongest counter-evidence is that volume hasn’t shrunk, suggesting there may be buyers stepping in. But until funding flips negative, the bulls’ pressure hasn’t been released. Next, if bulls can’t hold and start liquidating, liquidity will first pull out of $DRAM , and other semiconductor names may fall along with it.
Old dog’s move is clear: wait and see—no touching. If the price breaks below 58, I’ll confirm the pullback deepens. If the funding suddenly turns negative, then I’ll consider trying longs on the left side. There’s only one invalidation condition: $DRAM rapidly pulls back above 59.5 and holds—if that happens, it means bulls have strong control and my thesis is invalid.
