The old dog glanced at the data: in the past 24 hours, $ARM rose 11.616%, with the price touching 321.6. Judging by the percentage gain alone, this counts as an intraday anomaly in traditional-asset derivatives.
Why did it rise? The funding rate is zero. Funding of 0 means the long and short forces are temporarily balanced—there’s no situation where one side is paying extreme fees due to being overwhelmingly one-sided. So the move up isn’t being driven solely by overcrowding in the derivatives market from the long side. Looking next at open interest (OI): it’s 25,524. Compared with the $50 million 24-hour trading volume, the participation of leveraged capital in the derivatives market isn’t that high. This rally looks more like it’s led by spot or short-term funds, while the derivatives market hasn’t broadly caught up yet. Since there are no other comparable instruments in the same sector, all we can do is analyze $ARM ’s own structure.
My view is that this pulse lacks strong confirmation from the derivatives market. A zero fee rate means shorts aren’t passively getting pounded, and the risk of long-side overexcitement squeeze is also uncommon. Whether the rise can sustain is questionable. In terms of action, I won’t chase longs at the current price. If this spike can attract sustained inflows—turning funding positive and having OI expand at the same time—then that would be a signal that the trend might continue. Before that, it’s more suitable to treat it as a short-term trading move.
Where could this judgment be wrong?
