WLD this run is pretty interesting. Open interest is at a new high, yet the long/short ratio is actually falling.
Right now WLD is at 0.6017, up 7.6% over the past 24 hours, rising from 0.5265 to 0.6124.
On the surface it’s going up, but from the futures data: the 4-hour open interest has climbed steadily from 379M to 498M, hitting a recent high—suggesting new positions are entering the market. However, the big-account long/short ratio by account count has dropped from 2.94 to 1.79, and by position size from 3.64 to 2.85—both measures are decreasing.
On one side, OI is surging; on the other, the long/short ratio is trending downward. This suggests price is rising, but large players aren’t consistently bullish. Instead, someone is placing shorts on the other side. This structure makes me hesitate to chase longs directly.
Funding rate is 0.01%, and the basis is slightly negative, so sentiment isn’t overly overheated. The net active buy/sell volume leans slightly stronger on the buying side, but sell orders aren’t small either—disagreement is increasing.
I only watch two levels: above 0.6124, the prior high—only if it breaks out and holds on strong volume will there be a chance to look at 0.65. Below, 0.56–0.57 is near-term support; if it breaks, then look at 0.52.
As for the middle zone, I’d rather wait for a pullback to confirm. The key is what happens when price pulls back to 0.56–0.57: whether OI keeps rising or starts to fall. If price dips while OI keeps rising, that means shorts are adding. If price dips while OI falls, that’s more like longs are exiting—maybe it gets washed out and then rallies.
Which are you more concerned about right now: whether 0.6124 can break, or whether 0.56 will pull back first?
