$SNDK 24 hours, up 6.65%, current price 1882.83. The funding rate is 0, and the costs for both the long and short sides are also zero. Open interest is 176,800.
This setup is interesting. On-chain US stock futures contracts with the price rising and the funding rate staying at zero are uncommon. Usually either the rally is fast, the funding rate turns positive, and longs are paying; or the drop is severe, the funding rate turns negative, and shorts are paying. Now the rate is stuck at zero—like longs and shorts have just finished a round and temporarily called a pause. But the price has clearly been pushed up, which shows that the buying pressure has outweighed the prior sell pressure. With open interest at 176,800, it’s not particularly high; big players may still be watching from the sidelines and haven’t rushed in all at once.
I interpret this as a tentative repair to the semiconductor sector driven by macro sentiment. If this isn’t a false move, the next thing we should see is open interest increasing along with the price as it rises—that’s the real test of chasing longs with fresh money. If prices are up but open interest stays still, it suggests the market is still just trading with existing liquidity, and the rebound’s depth will be quite limited.
Strong counter-evidence: this move is purely a passive surge caused by short liquidations, not active entry by new longs. If after this the price consolidates or only makes a minor pullback, but open interest declines, that would validate this view.
