Up 43.80% in 4 hours, with trading volume expanding to 274.62 times that of the previous window, while the last full hour pulled back 6.68%. As of 12:06 (UTC), Binance public data showed $ARIA perpetual at approximately 0.12107 USDT, up 45.20% over 24 hours, but Binance spot trading was unavailable.

OI quantity increased 29.69% over the 30-point window, but fell 2.05% in the most recent hour. This indicates a significant build-up in leveraged positions over the medium term, with some positions already exiting during the short-term pullback. Without spot confirmation, OI cannot reveal the net long or short direction of newly opened positions.

⚠️ The indicative funding rate is approximately +0.0625%, while the most recent actual settlement was around +0.0635%. A positive rate raises the cost of holding long positions, but concurrent changes in price, volume, and OI still cannot prove that the rise will continue.

Only a high-volume breakout above 0.13487 in a full hour, accompanied by a moderation in OI growth, would support continuing to watch for further upside. If the price falls below 0.11528 on rising volume while OI remains high, prioritize guarding against a concentrated deleveraging event. I will not chase the rally while it remains unclear whether the pullback has ended.
