About 12 hours ago, we issued a morning warning that 3 contracts were seeing distribution at elevated levels. All 3 have now played out, with prices weakening across the board.
Review of the initial observations: positions were being unwound.
ZK: Played out; the bearish direction identified this morning has materialized.
Since the initial post, the price has fallen 5.73%, while open interest has decreased by 14.38%, indicating thinner buying support and a clear withdrawal of capital.
The taker buy/sell ratio fell from 1.15 to 0.59, showing that aggressive buying has retreated significantly.
OP: Played out; this morning's warning of distribution at elevated levels has been validated.
Since the initial post, the price has fallen 9.33%—the largest decline in this group—while open interest has also decreased by 7.00%.
Trading volume rose 63.66% as the price weakened, and the funding rate turned to -0.0028%, indicating that the surge in volume did not translate into effective buying support.
POL: Played out; the price has pulled back in line with this morning's bearish outlook.
Since the initial post, the price has fallen 4.03% and open interest has decreased by 4.15%, with capital continuing to exit during the pullback.
However, the taker buy/sell ratio rose to 1.43, indicating that aggressive buying has not disappeared. For now, it looks more like a tug-of-war after the decline, so we cannot consider a one-way pullback fully confirmed.
Next, we'll keep an eye on whether open interest continues to decline and whether buying support proves sustained during any rebound.
If the price strengthens again alongside a recovery in open interest and sustained dominance by aggressive buyers, that would contradict this pullback and warrant a reassessment of this morning's view.
