During the two hours from 17:00 to 19:00, open interest ballooned from about 43.19 million to 64.77 million coins, while the $AIOT contract surged from around 0.079 to break above 0.094. It rose about 26% over the past day, with roughly $53 million in trading volume, a low of 0.069, and a high of 0.094. The breakout narrative reads smoothly. But over that same period, the share of retail accounts long fell from about 72% to 63.5%, while the share of large accounts holding longs also dropped from about 71% to 62%. Price rose as the account structure reduced its long exposure—this leg looks more like short covering pushing the price up than a new long trend getting underway.
Break down the spike. Hourly volume was about $9.2 million at 17:00, then roughly $16 million each at 18:00 and 19:00. The taker buy/sell ratio hovered around 1.0, with no sign of one-sided buying. After the spike, open interest first drained to about 57.35 million coins; it is now around 58.23 million, still about 35% above this morning. Retail long accounts have rebounded from 63.5% to about 67.5%, while large-account long positions are about 55.6%. The funding rate stayed pinned to the floor at 0.005% all day. Traders are buying back in, but the positioning hasn’t shifted to new longs taking the lead—it’s just a refill after the short-squeeze climax. The newly launched $LSK also had a short squeeze under negative funding. Funding was extreme there and pinned to the floor here, so the fuel behind these two squeezes is different; you can’t assess them by exactly the same yardstick.
The one-hour RSI is about 70.7 and the 15-minute RSI is about 61.8. The 12-period moving average is 0.0814, the 50-period moving average is 0.0743, the upper Bollinger Band is 0.0897, and the upper Keltner Channel at 0.0839 has been pierced. ATR is about 4.1%. The current price of 0.088 is still grinding just below the upper Bollinger Band. The KDJ J is about 64: overbought conditions are easing, but the structure is still suspended above the channel. Invalidation hinges on either side: reclaiming and holding 0.094 while open interest stops draining, or breaking below the upper Keltner Channel to confirm a pullback.
I’m treating this move around 0.088 as retail buying back in after a short squeeze, not the start of a new long trend. Before long accounts keep climbing and open interest starts expanding toward 65 million coins again, watch the 0.0897 upper Bollinger Band first on any rebound; if it can’t hold, the next level is the 0.0839 upper Keltner Channel. I’ll stay on the sidelines for this AIOT move.
