$ARM 24 hours, it surged 11%, but the funding rate stayed completely unchanged—stuck at 0.0000%.

This data combination is kind of interesting. When on-chain US stock futures contracts suddenly explode upward, it usually brings positive funding rates, because there are many more longs chasing. But now the rate is 0, which suggests the longs didn’t crowd in too aggressively, or the shorts aren’t pressing down either. With such a big price jump, the open interest is only 25,698, and the trading volume—based on the corresponding $320 per order/price—doesn’t look very large. It’s not that kind of massive turnover, nonstop chasing-and-pulling rally. Judging purely from this structure, it looks more like pre-market sentiment in US equities is driving it, or that a certain pool of capital ignited it and the follow-through isn’t strong enough—so pushing it up isn’t too hard.

From a macro perspective, $ARM is a leading chip-design company, and its stock price is extremely sensitive to interest rates and risk appetite for tech stocks. The current upswing may be pricing in a rise in expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, or a mid-term narrative tied to AI compute demand. But lacking specific news as evidence, I can only say this is a conclusion based on a single signal—purely inferring from the price and funding-rate structure. The strong counterpoint is: if tonight US stocks open and the Nasdaq index falls, or if Fed officials turn hawkish, then $ARM ’s gains are likely to unwind quickly, and the funding rate could rapidly flip negative.

Second-order impact: current holders’ profit cushion is pretty thin. Once the macro tide turns, the stop-loss selling could be very concentrated. Everyone who wants to enter is waiting for a lower funding rate or a deeper pullback.
