$ANIME is up 14.3%—but is that a warning sign?

Up 14.3%, yet the funding rate is negative? Who’s running naked?

Current price: 0.003194 USDT. 24h trading volume: $43.7M. Market cap: just $25.9M.

The funding rate has fallen from -0.0584% to -0.0673%, and it’s still dropping. Doesn’t that mean more shorts are piling in? Yet open interest has surged by +114.7%, following a clear path: 1.0M > 1.0M > 1.0M > 2.2M. The price hasn’t budged, but positions have already doubled. Are shorts pushing it down, or is someone stubbornly buying at the lows?

The news isn’t quiet either: Anime Announces Community Airdrop Details, Focuses on Hyperl—nearly 10 news stories are promoting it, and the media is watching closely.

The takeaway is simple: price is rising, the funding rate is negative, and OI is exploding—all three at once means costs are rising for both longs and shorts.

Don’t rush to pick a side. First, calculate your own position costs, then see whether your leverage can withstand the pressure. Wait for confirmation—don’t wait to get liquidated.

Risk warning: Negative funding rates can eat into short profits, while longs who add to their positions at elevated prices could also be wiped out by a single wick.
