At 02:00, INIT was up 98.2%, open interest surged 235.2%, and the funding rate fell as low as -0.826%.
Short sellers are still paying hefty fees to hold their positions. The account long/short ratio is only 0.69, and the longer this structure persists, the more likely the squeeze will continue.

$INIT was quoted at 0.27387, with 24-hour trading volume of $1.082 billion. Price gains and volume expanded together—it wasn't a low-volume spike.
$SECZ rose 23.8%, with open interest up 34.0%. Aggressive selling was strong but failed to push down the price, suggesting that capital on opposing sides is entering in force.
$ARIA rose 22.1%, with open interest up 35.3% and 24-hour trading volume of $92.72 million. Momentum buyers are beginning to bear higher fees, and the order book has entered a high-leverage battle.

Ranks 4 through 10 were, in order: BTW up 19.8%, ONE up 19.4%, ACT up 12.4%, AIN up 11.4%, BR up 9.7%, CYBER up 9.5%, and MAGMA up 9.2%.
Meanwhile, JCT fell 52.0%, AKE fell 40.9%, and ON fell 35.5%, alongside a clear outflow of open interest. This isn't a broad market rally; capital is clustering in a handful of strong coins.

Overall, high-volatility coins are attracting a concentrated share of trading volume. Keep a close eye on INIT's open interest and whether its extreme negative funding rate persists.
