$INTC In the past 24 hours, it rose 3.709%, and the current price is 100.1. The key data is the funding rate: 0.00000000—longs don’t have to pay shorts.

With the funding rate at zero and a gentle rise in price, my take is that this push up doesn’t have much of a bubble driven by emotion. There’s no crowded long position with accumulated cost, which suggests the move may be driven by events or fundamental expectations—not just a pure perpetual-contract sentiment pump.

The strongest counter-evidence is that the semiconductor sector is affected by geopolitical factors. If there’s even a hint of changes under Trump’s policy, or if news about chip export restrictions comes out, the gains could be wiped out instantly.

A second-order effect is that if this mild uptrend continues, short-sellers’ stop-loss orders will gradually get moved up, creating a slow, steady short-covering buy pressure. But once an external news shock hits, those stop orders can become an accelerator for the decline.

Invalidation condition: If the price breaks below the 100 integer level and can’t reclaim it, then my mildly bullish view is invalid. Breaking below 100 means sentiment turns.

Action: I’m preparing to try a long position with a small size. Direction: Long. Leverage: 3x. Stop-loss: 98.5. Take-profit: 103. Position size: 20%. If it falls below 98.5, it means my view is wrong—cut it immediately.
