After sweeping the $ZRO order book, I stopped.

Something’s off with this order book.

1.4565, +16.6%, trading volume $109.5M—looks quite lively. But the open interest line goes: 22.4M → 22.3M → 27.2M → 30.1M, +34.5%.

Bulls think they’ve won.
Bears also think they’ve won—the funding rate has dropped from +0.0050% to -0.0035%, turning negative.

Both sides are celebrating. Both sides are getting paid out.

Up 16.6% and also piling on a new position of 34.5%—this isn’t a low-volume grind; someone is adding with real money inside.

With the funding rate turning negative, the shorts do have the upper hand. But the cost to hold short positions is starting to rise—price is already low, and the deeper it goes into negative funding, the more urgent that buy-to-cover will be.

Who exits first gets to speak.
Market cap $1.08B, spot is right there—10 news items are flying: Whale 'Corus' Moves $1.5M USDT to Binance, Withdraws $1.4M i.

First, calculate your own leverage cost. Don’t rush to take sides.

Risk warning: the funding rate can flip its mood twice in a day—your liquidation price won’t wait for you to confirm.
