Morning “High-Level Distribution Watch” bearish warning issued about 6 hours ago—now reconcile based on the real order book.
Among the 3 contracts covered by the warning: 0 have already broken down in a one-way drop, 2 are still in a tug-of-war, and 1 actually pulled back higher.
The original observation given in the first post was: “chips are dispersed.”
ASTR: tug-of-war. The morning bearish call has not been validated yet.
Since the initial call, price has only fallen by about 1%; it hasn’t formed a one-way downward move.
However, open interest has dropped 7.82% and trading volume is down nearly 40%. Money and volume are withdrawing faster than price, which suggests the market is still stuck in stalemate rather than a trend reversal.
ARB: tug-of-war; direction currently leans toward moving in the opposite direction.
Since the initial call, price is up 1.93% rather than down. Trading volume has expanded by 31% in sync. The volume-price coordination supports strength, not distribution and escape.
Funding rate has turned slightly negative; short positions are increasing, but price hasn’t started to drop yet—so the bearish judgment hasn’t been realized for now.
HEMI: a short-covering bounce. The morning bearish warning for this one clearly went the wrong way.
After the initial call, price didn’t fall—it rose 4.87%. Open interest increased by 6.04% at the same time. The strength of aggressive buy orders rose from 0.63 to 0.94, meaning buyers are actively entering rather than money retreating.
The “high-level distribution” thesis has currently been refuted for this contract.
Next, focus on whether ASTR’s open interest and trading volume can continue shrinking. If price then follows through with further downside, that would be consistent with “chips are dispersed” becoming real.
For ARB and HEMI, observe in the opposite direction: only if aggressive buy orders and open interest turn weaker again could the morning bearish logic regain the upper hand.
Right now, this line still needs further confirmation, so it’s not recommended to draw a conclusion early.
