$AXTI In the past 24 hours, it has fallen 4.31%, and the quote is 77.70.
This drop occurred in an environment where the funding rate is zero and the open interest has stayed at 112,600. I tend to believe the market is in a short-dominated state, but without fresh short selling power entering. The price is moving downward, but total open interest isn’t increasing in sync, which suggests it’s not driven by aggressive new short positions. More likely, existing position holders are exiting or being stopped out passively. With the funding rate at zero, neither side needs to pay the other, so the contest is at a temporary equilibrium—but the price direction has chosen downward, and that balance may be breaking.
The strongest counter-evidence is this: if large capital believes 77.70 is undervalued, they might choose to open positions here to absorb liquidity and reverse the decline. At the moment, there are no signs of that. A second-order effect is that if the price continues to fall, long contract holders who entered at higher levels may trigger stop-losses, creating a chain of selling pressure; conversely, if there is a sudden rebound, shorts in a zero-fee regime could face rapid covering pressure.
The key is open interest. If the price keeps dropping while OI begins to increase, it indicates new shorts are entering and the selloff may accelerate. If the price stabilizes while OI gradually declines, that would mean shorts are taking profits and the downward momentum is weakening.
