Bullish. LA, OP, and ARK are all trending upward in line with price right now; open interest is also tracking higher in sync. Meanwhile, the funding rate remains in negative territory, indicating that this move is currently being pushed up by short-side funding. For this tape, what I’m looking at is the coordination between open interest inflow and price moving together. Next, I’ll watch whether this coordination can continue to be confirmed.
LA is currently quoted at 0.07144, up 10.62% over the past 24 hours. The funding rate is -0.1256%, and it has been paying shorts for 7 consecutive periods. Open interest over the past 24 hours increased by 19.5%, reaching $5,410,661. This suggests that as the price rises, shorts are still consistently paying for their positions, while positioning is also flowing in—this is a relatively “hard” momentum setup. The counterpoint is that the 1-hour open interest change is only 0.6%, and the incremental pace has clearly slowed. The strength going forward will depend on whether it can keep up.
OP is now quoted at 0.10222, up 7.8% over the past 24 hours. The buy-side (aggressive) order ratio is 0.87, open interest over the past 24 hours increased by just 1.0%, and the funding rate has flipped to a positive 0.0065%. This indicates that price and trading activity are moving, but the funding rate has turned from negative to positive, and the open interest growth rate isn’t particularly notable. The counterpoint is that among these three coins, OP has the weakest open interest inflow. If the subsequent volume can’t keep up, this trend should be reassessed first.
ARK is quoted at 0.1674, up 23.82% over the past 24 hours—the biggest gain among the three. Open interest over the past 24 hours has surged by 87.0%. Trading volume is $105 million, and the funding rate is -0.0407%, with shorts paying for 8 consecutive periods. This suggests that new positions are flowing in heavily in tandem with the sharp price rise, and supply (chips) is being consolidated. The counterpoint is that the 1-hour open interest change is -3.0%, meaning the short-term has shown a slight contraction; the ramp-up in positions from the prior hour has started to cool.
If the open interest of these three coins continues to rise in sync with price and the short-paying funding rate setup is not broken, this trend can continue. If the 1-hour open interest growth rate keeps turning negative, or the funding rate flips to longs paying, then this direction needs to be reassessed.
Live trade note: This account currently holds $FOGO long positions; the logic is unchanged, so I will continue to hold.
