$AGTUSDT made it into this round’s list of position-building candidates: open interest is 11.69 million U, 24h -8.2%, 30 days +18%, funding rate 0.005% (neutral), and it’s already up 102% over 180 days.
Here’s the problem: my rule is to stay away once an asset has doubled. It doubled in six months, but the script’s 30-day window doesn’t catch that. And an 8% drop in 24h isn’t “stable”—the price is moving first while open interest isn’t declining. That looks more like distribution near the highs or trapped longs, not quiet accumulation. What I want is a stable price plus rising open interest; this round, I’m only seeing the latter.
In the same pool, $ELSA has the most substantial volume (24h trading volume: 320 million U); $AIO has a 0.039% funding rate, meaning longs are paying, and it’s already up 70% in 7 days.
I’m not taking a position early. I’ll wait until AGT turns positive over 24h.
