Spot–Futures Divergence Rankings
First, identify the source of capital over the past hour: is spot following, or are futures driving the pace?
$SOL : The price has bounced, but OI is shrinking. For now, treat it as short covering; to turn stronger, new positions and spot buying need to come in together.
$ZEC : This move looks more like shorts being squeezed first, rather than sustained inflows of new capital. Next, watch whether spot volume can pick up the slack.
$XRP : Positions are declining while the price is bouncing. For now, view it as a short-covering-driven move; fresh trading activity will need to take over next.
Shorts covering can fuel a bounce, but whether it lasts depends on new capital.
