$AKE 24-hour contract open interest +22.8%, price +1.48%—open interest rose while the price moved sideways.
First, a note on methodology: open interest here is measured in coins, excluding the impact of price changes on the value of positions. So increases and decreases represent actual opening or closing of positions.
Positions are increasing, but the price hasn’t moved in either direction. Positions on both sides of the market are growing, which may indicate a widening divergence. This kind of buildup often ends with increased volatility, but it’s impossible to predict the direction in advance.
