• Top Traders (Account-Count): 86.9439% are long.
• Total Accounts: 75.835% are long.

📉 Open Interest (OI) & Market Volatility
• Open Interest Move: Open interest increased by +0.19% over the past hour, indicating that new positions have entered the market.

🔍 Key Outlook to Watch
• Downside Scenario: If open interest (OI) continues to rise as price comes under pressure, this could signal that further downside positions are building in the market.
• Stabilization Scenario: If the price stabilizes here and the long ratio or funding normalizes, this could simply be a positioning reset.
