$CFX 24 hours, it rose 21%, and contract open interest rose 46%, but whales’ long/short position ratio actually fell from 2.85 to 1.98. The price is pushing higher, while whales are reducing their long exposure.
Looking at the figures together:
Current price: 0.0597; 24-hour low: 0.0490; high: 0.0605. The price is basically right up against the high.
Open interest increased from 102 million tokens to 149 million, adding 47 million tokens in new positions in a day.
Whales’ long/short position ratio: 2.85→1.98. Retail accounts’ long/short ratio: 1.17→1.16, barely changed.
Funding rate: 0.0023%, close to zero.
In plain English: a considerable share of the positions opened during the day were probably whale shorts. Retail traders haven’t chased longs, and the funding rate hasn’t been pushed up either. So this rally wasn’t driven by a pile-up of leveraged longs; it looks more like spot buying is pushing the price up, while whales are opening shorts against it in the futures market.
Technically, the 1-hour RSI has reached 87, and the price is now about 12% above EMA12 (0.0534). The 1-hour ATR is 0.0015, meaning a normal pullback could bring the price back to around 0.056. EMA12, EMA26, EMA50, and EMA200 are all aligned bullishly, so the trend structure itself is still intact.
I’m watching two key levels: 0.0605 above, today’s high. A high-volume break above it would suggest that whales’ short positions are starting to get squeezed. Below, 0.0534 is EMA12; a close below it would mean this spot-driven rally has likely run its course.
My view is that with this combination of “whales getting more bearish as the price rises” and “funding staying cool,” a short squeeze is more likely to come first in the near term than an outright collapse. I don’t hold CFX, and I’m not entering at an RSI of 87. I’m just watching to see who blinks first at the 0.0605 hurdle.
