$SNDK 24 hours drop 5.82%, current price 1775.91. Funding rate has returned to zero, with open interest at 171,500.

Most likely, this round of decline is driven by macro sentiment drag from the semiconductor sector, not a sudden deterioration in individual stock fundamentals. The $SNDK funding rate is 0, which means neither longs nor shorts are paying fees—market sentiment is in a relatively balanced state, even somewhat indifferent. When price falls alongside a zero funding rate, it usually suggests the selling pressure isn’t coming from contract-side long liquidations or shorts actively targeting; it’s more like ongoing outflows from the spot market or related ETFs. If there’s no funding abnormality, it’s hard to tell whether there’s extreme squeeze momentum building.

The strongest counterargument is: if tonight a leading indicator for the U.S. semiconductor industry is released—such as equipment orders or inventory data—and unexpectedly turns better, it could instantly flip sector sentiment. Or if $SNDK itself releases good news regarding AI chip shipments or earnings guidance. As long as those events occur, the current drifting-lower structure could stop working. The condition for the thesis to fail can be observed by whether price can hold above and reclaim 1775, the current level. If price keeps trading below this level, it suggests the market is choosing to ignore potential catalysts.

Next, if sector sentiment remains subdued, the long positions established when $funding was positive may start facing the dual pressure of time costs and unrealized losses on paper. Those bearing the cost will be the holders of these positions. If liquidity leaves the semiconductor sector, it may flow into other tech sub-sectors that have more independent narratives recently.

Action-wise: at this position and given the funding/fee structure, the payoff odds for shorting are not high, because the shorts haven’t gotten an advantage. If the price can stabilize and trade sideways around 1775, I’ll choose to wait and observe. If there’s a high-volume breakdown below the current range/platform, I’ll consider reducing exposure to mitigate further downside risk.

Aggressive scenario: bet on an intraday reversal of sector sentiment and try small-size long positions below 1775. Conservative scenario: wait for price to regain/hold above 1775 and for funding to turn positive again (showing that longs are willing to pay to enter) before considering follow-through. Avoid scenario: under the current zero-fee, drifting-lower setup, don’t participate.
