$AXTI 24 hours saw a drop of 3.445%, with the quote at 61.66. This kind of move isn’t considered that fierce when placed in on-chain U.S. stock futures contracts, but when you factor in the perspective of trading Trump, the flavor changes.
The funding rate is 0. This means neither side—bulls or bears—paid the other; the position cost is temporarily balanced. Prices are falling, but the funding rate isn’t negative. That suggests the shorts haven’t formed an absolute, overwhelming advantage, nor have we seen the typical situation of “shorts being crowded” where funding is paid to longs. This is a signal of relative stalemate. Open interest is still 114354.99, which isn’t low—so the market hasn’t fully given up.
Every policy statement Trump makes has a direct impact on assets like AXTI, which are tied to traditional finance. If he brings up tariffs again or gets tough on China, risk-off sentiment will rise; the first thing cut will be these high-beta on-chain stock contracts. With the price drifting lower, it may already be pricing in some risks that haven’t been clearly stated yet. A zero funding rate is an observation window: if the price keeps sliding and the funding rate turns negative, that means the shorts are gaining strength and downside momentum will intensify. If the funding rate suddenly turns positive and the price rebounds, it could mean the policy tone has eased and the shorts are covering.
The strongest contrary evidence would be if Trump suddenly speaks in favor of a specific policy that benefits traditional finance or tech stocks. That could instantly flip sentiment and squeeze the shorts. But based on the current data, there’s no sign of that.
For someone like me trading contracts, my action is straightforward. Direction: short. Leverage: 3x. Stop-loss: if the price rebounds and holds above 63.5 (about a recent minor high), I’ll close the position and admit the judgment is wrong. Take-profit: first look around 59.8, where the next psychological level sits. Position size: enter with a 10% allocation as a trial.
My view is based on two facts: the coexistence of price decline and a zero funding rate. If the next period brings two scenarios, this strategy fails: first, AXTI rallies on heavy volume for two consecutive days by more than 5%, and the funding rate turns positive; second, Trump issues explicit policy remarks that benefit this sector. If either happens, I’ll撤.
For an aggressive approach, short at the current price and tighten the stop-loss slightly. For a conservative approach, wait for the price to rebound into the 62–62.5 range, and only short if the funding rate hasn’t changed. For a risk-avoidance approach, this area is neither up nor down, and the funding rate has no direction—so don’t touch it at all and wait for it to show a clear trend.
The market may be overestimating short-term policy noise and underestimating the fragility of this kind of stalemated positioning.
