MON 24-hour gains of nearly 20%, with contract open interest rising by almost 30% in tandem.
Trading-screen details carry more information than the headline gain: when prices moved up, open interest increased along with them; active buy/sell reached as high as 1.28; and the funding rate returned to +0.005%. This looks more like newly added leveraged longs pushing higher—not shorts being squeezed back to cover.
Engagement spiked sharply within a day, and the market has folded it into an artificial intelligence narrative. As for why the price rose to this extent, there is currently no widely accepted explanation.
Risks are also on the table. More than 60% of accounts are positioned long. The longs are paying slightly in funding; positioning is crowded but not at an extreme. However, if buying stalls and the move consolidates with increased volume, leverage will amplify the subsequent pullback. Some people cite November’s unlock as a bearish reason, but this point still needs verification.
If the pullback holds at key levels without breaking, is it a relay backed by fresh capital—or just the very last batch of longs taking the handoff?
