Bottom line: DOT open interest across the market is down 2.67%, but it rose 1.21% on Binance over the past four hours. Long and short positions aren't both exiting.
Open interest across the market is about $182 million. Binance accounts for about $35.79 million, or 19.64%; OKX has about $7.95 million, or 4.37%. Over the past 24 hours, open interest fell 1.28% on Binance and 2.11% on OKX. Neither drop is especially large, but over the past four hours, one exchange added positions while the other reduced them, showing a split in short-term direction.
Looking at the long/short ratio, about 68.1% of Binance traders and 68.4% of OKX traders are long. Both exchanges lean bullish, but not extremely so. Funding rates are also positive: around 0.0032% on Binance and 0.0100% on OKX, meaning longs are paying shorts. DOT looks more like a bullish bet amid shrinking positions; don't mistake increased positions on one exchange for a market-wide strengthening trend.
