$SOXL surged 8.249% over the past 24 hours to a quote of 150.78. The funding rate is stuck at zero, and there are 910,000 open contracts. Prices are shooting up hard, but the funding rate hasn’t moved—this is a single signal that the long and short sides at the leverage level are all watching from the sidelines.
I suspect this momentum comes from a recovery in global tech stock sentiment, especially the semiconductor sector, which is being pulled along by the U.S. benchmark. But with the funding rate at zero, it means longs aren’t daring to press their bets, and shorts haven’t been forced to pay. The market is still waiting for clearer catalysts.
On the other hand, if tonight’s U.S. PCE data comes in above expectations and the Fed’s hawkish narrative is reignited, causing a pullback in tech stocks, then $SOXL ’s gains could quickly evaporate. Right now, long costs are low; but once the price retraces below 148, the follower positions may cut first.
Next, the key is who makes the first move. If the price holds above 152, short-stop losses could get triggered, pushing a second wave of upside. If it breaks below 145, long confidence would collapse and open interest would drop rapidly.
My current action is to wait and see. If the price retraces to 148 while the funding rate remains close to zero, I’ll initiate a long position with a hard stop-loss at 145. If it directly spikes to 155, I’d rather miss it than chase at these levels—the risk-reward here is already not attractive.
