Today’s trending tokens—watch only these few. Clearly, capital is pooling into high-volatility coins; the top three all show rapidly increasing position sizes flowing in.
$BTR is up 312.4%, with trading volume reaching $936 million. Both the price increase and the volume expand at the same time—this isn’t a low-volume spike. Position size has surged 987.7%; the price is already pressing toward the 24-hour high of 0.146. The order-book heat is the strongest.
$TAC is up 80.8%, with trading volume at $212 million, and open interest rising in sync by 31.7%. The aggressive buy side has a slight edge, but the gap between long/short accounts isn’t huge—disagreement remains. The follow-through is worth monitoring.
$ONG is up 60.3%, with trading volume at $661 million, and open interest increasing by 35.7%. What’s even more interesting is the funding rate dropping to -2.0%. Shorts are still paying extreme fees to hold out—this kind of structure, the longer it drags, the more likely a breakout becomes.
From 4th to 10th are: EDEN up 46.7%, BMT up 34.0%, MAGMA up 31.1%, BAS up 24.8%, PUMPBTC up 24.5%, BICO up 22.0%, and ACU up 17.2%. Overall, it’s still only a few strong coins absorbing liquidity. Focus on whether BTR can maintain strong trading intensity, and whether the short-side pressure on ONG will continue to build.
Contract Order Book Daily|8/26 Deleveraging Continues, $80k Breaks
The last signal was that leverage would recede amid a rebound; the current outcome confirms that this signal is still holding. $BTC marked price returned to $77,799.9, down 1.81%. The prior short squeeze-driven test of the $80,000–$81,000 range failed to hold.
Open interest has fallen to $8.277 billion, down 2.9% in a single drop, indicating that the decline is mainly accompanied by leverage withdrawal, not large-scale new short accumulation. But the active buy-sell ratio is only 0.84—sell-side order flow still has the upper hand. Longs account for 51%, yet positioning hasn’t clearly flipped bearish, leaving room to keep liquidating longs. Funding rate remains positive at 0.0057%, and fear/greed is also at 65. Both sentiment and leverage pricing are more optimistic than the price level, which is the key mismatch to guard against this evening.
The spot side is not without support. Bitcoin spot ETF net inflow is about $336 million in a day, and roughly $2.08 billion over the past 7 days. Ethereum spot ETF also saw a daily inflow of about $110 million. This pool of capital can cushion selling pressure, but for now it hasn’t changed the contract-side result where active selling remains dominant. $ETH is also down 1.51%, while the funding rate rises to a positive 0.0069%.
Risk boundary: $80,000 to $81,000. Only if price reclaims and holds in that zone, while open interest rises and the active buy-sell ratio returns above 1, can it be considered that the shorts’ squeeze has turned into effective absorption. Otherwise, any rebound may still be merely a pullback during the deleveraging process. Among smaller coins, $BICO has a funding rate as low as -0.863%. Shorts are excessively crowded, and volatility risk is high—but an extreme negative funding rate by itself doesn’t equal a trend reversal.

Bearish morning watch replay about 13 hours ago: among 3 contracts, 2 have cashed out weakness, 1 is still tugging—no one-sided downside confirmation yet.
The positions are dispersing.
ONT: Tugging. The morning bearish move only pulled back partially, so it can’t be counted as a one-sided down move. After the initial spike, the price fell 2.32%, but open interest decreased by 8.08%, suggesting the decline came with position exits, but there isn’t enough sustained pressure. Active buy orders have already rebounded, and the support hasn’t thinned out completely, so this tug-of-war cannot be hard-labeled as a cash-out.
POL: Cashed out. The morning bearish move has already stepped into a period of pullback. After the initial release, the price continued to weaken by 3.49%, indicating the high-level strength failed to persist. Open interest also fell in parallel by 4.72%, meaning the heat is leaving, though active buy orders still provide some support. Whether the pullback can continue needs confirmation.
RE: Cashed out. The price weakening is consistent with the direction of the morning bearish signal. After the initial release, the price continued to drop 3.00%, and the prior rebound has been suppressed back. Compared with the initial release, the ratio of active buy orders fell by 0.07, and open interest also decreased, indicating that support is weakening.
Next, jointly watch whether the price can keep sliding, and whether active buy orders retreat and support thins further—these are key to confirming whether this pullback continuation is real. If the price stabilizes on reduced volume and active buy orders keep rising—especially if ONT breaks free from the current tug-of-war—then it would form a counterexample, and the morning bearish logic would need to be reconsidered.
Live trading note: At the moment, this account holds a long position $FOGO . As long as the logic remains unchanged, I will continue to hold.

About 13 hours ago, I watched three bullish contracts in the morning. One has broken out and exited, but the other two didn’t catch: BMT fulfilled, ONT stretched/dragged, TLM fizzled out.
Initial lineup recap: the positioning has tightened.
ONT: stretched/dragged. The price moved along the bullish direction for a bit, but it hasn’t formed a one-sided confirmation yet. After the first signal, price rose 2.52%, while open interest only increased by 1.48%. The follow-through capital on the add-on looked rather weak. The aggressive buy flow has also weakened in sync; it currently feels more like repeated back-and-forth struggles between longs and shorts.
BMT: fulfilled. This one broke out to the upside in the morning bullish move. After the first signal, price continued to climb 4.96%, and open interest increased by 5.38% as well—showing that during the upswing, new positions were still being taken up. However, the aggressive buy flow has already weakened; whether the move can continue still needs further confirmation.
TLM: fizzled out. The morning bullish setup didn’t break out. After the first signal, price pulled back by 4.87%, already deviating from the intended direction. At the same time, open interest dropped by 20.31%, indicating that capital follow-through clearly fell behind—directly contradicting the bullish thesis.
Next, we’ll monitor whether price can continue to push higher, whether open interest increases in sync, and whether the aggressive buy flow can regain dominance. If price continues to give back and open interest retreats, then this set of bullish logic needs to be reviewed again. #ONG #BMT #TLM #Contract recap

Top 3 on the 24-hour gainers list this morning—I'm checking and reconciling now, after 8 hours.
Lobster: Went quiet; after its launch, the price fell by 13.33%. The position size decreased by 19.00%. The funding rate dropped from 0.1526% to 0.0265%, and the ratio of active buy/sell orders also fell from 1.00 to 0.98.
BMT: Cashed out; after its launch, the price continued to rise by 4.80%. The position size increased by 3.69%, but the funding rate fell from -0.1517% to -0.4432%. The ratio of active buy/sell orders rose from 0.97 to 1.01—there is tension in the data.
STAR: Went quiet; after its launch, the price fell by 21.98%. The position size decreased by 36.47%. The funding rate dropped from 0.0503% to 0.0065%, and the ratio of active buy/sell orders rose from 0.91 to 1.01.
In the evening, key watch is whether price and position size can stabilize in sync. Lobster and STAR still need to watch for the risk of pullbacks from high levels; for BMT, pay attention to the conflict between the further expansion of negative funding rates and the growth in position size. # Contract Tracking

About 7 hours ago, I observed three bullish contracts in the morning. Now one has broken out and moved; two didn’t catch the momentum.
Initial setup recap: the chips are tightening.
ONG: Realized profit—this bullish one broke out. After the initial call, the price continued higher by 9.03%, indicating the breakout direction is being sustained. Open interest also increased by 15.00%, suggesting new positions are being added to support the upward move.
BMT: Fizzled out—the bullish move in the morning failed to continue. After the initial call, the price pulled back by 6.57%, and the trend had already deviated from the original direction. Open interest decreased by 11.85%, indicating positions weren’t picked up; the decline wasn’t just sideways digestion.
TLM: Fizzled out—both price and open interest are lagging behind. After the initial call, the price fell by 3.65%, so the bullish direction wasn’t realized. Open interest further dropped by 16.20%, suggesting that support from follow-through weakened and the original direction’s backing was eroded.
Next, we’ll jointly watch whether open interest can reconnect and whether active buying can continue to rebound. If the price rebounds but open interest keeps shrinking, it’s still a counter-signal to this set of bullish morning observations, and the continuity needs to be re-examined. #ONG #BMT #TLM

Bearish morning watch and high-level distribution warning recap from about 6 hours ago: 3 of them are currently all being pulled back and forth; for now, 0 have confirmed profit-taking—still not out of a one-sided decline.
Initial observation recap: Chips are dispersing.
ONT: Choppy. Although the price has weakened, a morning bearish one-sided confirmation has not formed yet. After the initial call, the price fell 1.54% while open interest decreased by 7.17%, suggesting some heat has cooled off at the high level. However, the aggressive buy/sell ratio rose to 1.03, meaning aggressive buying hasn’t completely retreated—there is still some support during the pullback.
POL: Choppy. The rally has clearly narrowed, but the price itself has only dipped slightly; bearish continuation still lacks follow-through. After the initial call, the price fell 0.36%. The aggressive buy/sell ratio dropped from 1.32 to 0.92, indicating that aggressive buying has already cooled. But the drawdown is limited; it looks more like digestion at the high than a one-sided move lower.
RE: Choppy. This is merely that the morning bearish move hasn’t yet materialized into a decisive downside; instead, the price is up 1.98% versus the initial call. The aggressive buy/sell ratio fell from 1.16 to 0.95, showing that chasing-buy momentum is fading, but it hasn’t yet directly converted into price weakness. Trading volume increased by 7.30% but did not produce a clear downside move; the order book is still fighting back and forth.
Next, collectively watch whether the price can continue to weaken, and also whether the aggressive buy/sell ratio keeps staying below 1, and whether support becomes thinner—these are what constitute a pullback confirmation. If the price turns stronger again and aggressive buying keeps returning above 1, then the bearish-morning logic needs to be rechecked.

Contract Order Book Daily | 8/26 Deleveraging Falls; Buy Orders Buck the Trend
At 11:30 noon, the abnormality is not only the price decline—when leverage is withdrawn, buy orders that actively step in are still holding the upper hand. $BTC mark price 78993.48, down 2.01%. Open interest has fallen to 8.367 billion USD, down 3.1%. This looks more like long-side deleveraging rather than shorts steadily adding to suppress. The active buy/sell ratio rises to 1.18, but the long share is just 50%. There is still absorption, yet no confirmation of additional buildup.
The funding rates of major contracts remain positive, indicating longs have not turned fully bearish. The risk is that $SOL ’s decline reaches 4.57%; funding rate is still positive at 0.0061%. Even though the price is weaker, longs are still paying funding. If the drop continues, it can easily trigger a second round of deleveraging. Fear greed index is 65—staying in the greed zone, which doesn’t match the widely circulated claim of “extreme greed.”
Michael Saylor said that during the previous Bitcoin upswing, Strategy didn’t buy a single coin. This suggests the earlier buyers weren’t relying solely on one institution. Now that the price has fallen back below $80,000, whether buy orders can independently hold is the real test. The U.S. Treasury is considering expanding long-term Treasury support, which could improve market expectations for risk assets. At the same time, it has issued warnings about isolating the dollar system for countries assisting Iran—policy news may still amplify short-term volatility.
Extreme funding is concentrated in small contracts. $STORJ funding rate drops to negative 0.594%; shorts’ funding payments are already crowded. When there’s upward movement, watch out for concentrated short-covering. On the other side, BNC funding rate reaches positive 0.269%, meaning the risk of longs being crowded is higher. Next, we only watch two boundaries: whether $BTC can regain and hold above $80,000, and whether open interest can rise in sync during the rebound. Only if both price and open interest are repaired together will active buy orders be considered to have shifted from absorption to real incremental buying.

**Contract 24H Gainers Board · Deep Dive into the Top 3**
As of now, the top 3 on the 24-hour gainers board are Lobster, BMT, and STAR. Here’s a quick run-through of the publicly available order-book data for anyone watching closely.
Lobster’s 24-hour gain is 60.84%, with trading volume of $109 million—an asset with both high price increase and high turnover. Open interest is $28.47 million, up 95.2% over 24 hours, but down 8.1% over the last hour, indicating that newly added positions have started to pull back in the short term. Funding rate is 0.1526%. It has had long-side funding for 8 consecutive periods; with such a high funding rate, the cost basis of long positions should continue to be monitored.
BMT is up 59.31% over 24 hours, with trading volume of $134 million—the highest among the three by volume. Open interest is $7.02 million, up 150.1% over 24 hours, but down 2.7% over the last hour, suggesting that after a sharp increase in leverage participation, things have cooled slightly. Funding rate is -0.1517%, with short-side funding for 3 consecutive periods. The contract’s premium/discount rate is -0.1497%. Meanwhile, the relative strength indicator is 82.9 and sits in the overbought zone—pricing disagreement between longs and shorts is fairly clear.
STAR is up 27.38% over 24 hours, with trading volume of $29.76 million, and open interest of $7.7353 million. Open interest is up 75.2% over 24 hours, but down 0.6% over the last hour. Incremental positions are still increasing, but momentum has not continued to expand in the short term. Ratio of aggressive buy/sell orders is 0.91. The overall long/short ratio is 0.77 with longs at 44%, but the large-holder long/short ratio is 1.41—there are differences in composition between regular accounts and large holders.
What the three have in common: both 24-hour gains and open interest have risen noticeably, but the open interest in all three has fallen over the last hour. For the next step, the shared points to watch are whether open interest can stabilize, whether the funding rate continues to deviate, and the risk of a fast pullback that could occur after high-level volume expands.

Leaning toward a downward drift and pullback. These coins’ prices may still be rising, but the structure is already loosening. Don’t just look at the green % increase—chasing higher is getting riskier. What’s scary isn’t that it won’t go up; it’s that as it rises, the follow-through (liquidity/thickness) thins out. Next, watch whether both the pullback and the thinning of follow-through will get confirmed.
ONT’s gain is still 5.47%. Open interest in the last 24 hours increased by 17.2%, but the ratio of active buy/sell is only 0.7—liquidity is dispersed among the crowd. Despite a surge in positions, it’s dominated by active sell orders; when price continues pushing higher, be even more alert to whether the follow-through can keep up. The counterpoint is that the SuperTrend remains upward. The relative strength indicator is 57.3, still in the neutral zone.
POL’s gain is still 5.03%. Open interest in the last 24 hours increased by 17.7%. The long/short ratio rose to 1.46, and liquidity is dispersed. Price rising alongside position expansion, but the long side already accounts for 59%. After the structure becomes crowded, it’s even more worrying if follow-through suddenly weakens. The counterpoint is that the active buy/sell ratio is 1.32; active buy orders still dominate, and the SuperTrend also stays in an uptrend.
RE is still up 2.29%, but open interest in the last 24 hours decreased by 1.2%. The futures contract premium rate is -0.1847%, and liquidity is dispersed. Price is still rising, but positions aren’t expanding in sync. Next, watch whether the active buys can keep coming. The counterpoint is that the active buy/sell ratio is 1.16 and the SuperTrend is still in an upward state.
If follow-through continues to thin, this pullback line is already in motion; if it re-accumulates volume and holds steady, then this assessment needs to be re-evaluated.

For this order book, I’m looking at ONGs, BMT, and TLM. Their prices are all trending upward in line with the overall momentum, and their 24-hour open interest has increased by 22.2%, 166.9%, and 53.1% respectively. The super trend is also pointing upward.
Next, watch whether the open interest and aggressive buying can continue to confirm.
ONG: Current price $0.09491. Up 15.91% in the past 24 hours. Open interest up 22.2% over the past 24 hours. Aggressive buy/sell ratio is 1.12. Price and open interest are rising in sync, and aggressive buying currently has the upper hand. The order book is tightening. A counterpoint is that the funding rate has had long positions paying for 8 consecutive periods; if open interest follow-through weakens, this current strong structure could cool down.
BMT: Current price $0.02298. Up 51.98% in the past 24 hours. Open interest up 166.9% over the past 24 hours, and it’s still increasing by 4.5% over the last hour. Funding rate is -0.2867%, with short positions paying for 3 consecutive periods. The order book suggests a potential squeeze move. The order book is tightening. A counterpoint is that the relative strength indicator reached 84.1 and is in the overbought zone; short-term volatility is high—confirm based on the visible order book.
TLM: Current price $0.00156. Up 11.03% in the past 24 hours. Open interest up 53.1% over the past 24 hours. Funding rate is -0.1717%, and short positions have been paying for 3 consecutive periods. Price and open interest are increasing in the same direction, and the order book suggests a potential squeeze move. The order book is tightening. A counterpoint is that the aggressive buy/sell ratio is only 0.98—aggressive buying has not yet formed a clear advantage. Short-term volatility is high—confirm based on the visible order book.
If price continues to follow the trend, open interest keeps rising, and aggressive buying remains strong, this line will likely keep playing out; if price weakens, open interest follow-through stalls, or aggressive selling continues to dominate, then this direction needs to be reassessed.

Contract Order Book Daily|8/26 Rebound as Leverage Pulls Back
At 07:00 Beijing time, the marked price for $BTC was 78,851.68 USD, up 0.19%. However, the contract open interest fell to 8.399 billion USD, a change of -0.7%. The aggressive buy/sell ratio is only 0.92, indicating that sell orders still dominate. This upward move was not accompanied by any new leverage support. Only after it regains and holds above 80,000, with open interest increasing and the aggressive buy/sell ratio returning above 1, can this weak confirmation signal be considered overturned.
Bitcoin posted its strongest weekly gain since March 2023, and the sentiment reading also rose to 74. But the long-side share is still 50%, and the funding rate is only +0.009%. The verifiable signal is that heat rises first, while contract longs have not yet clearly squeezed to one side. If open interest expands, the funding rate continues to rise, and the long-side share breaks above 50%, then risk would shift from being sidelined to long crowding.
Reports say the U.S. Treasury is considering increasing purchases of long-term government bonds. News like this could amplify price volatility, but the current order book shows no synchronized capital being chased in. Smaller-cap coins are more directly crowded: STORJ’s funding rate is as low as -0.785%, with the highest concentration on the short side; GEV reaches +0.173%, making the risk of long-side trampling more prominent. For both sides, the key risk boundary is whether the funding rate quickly returns near zero. Until it returns, one should not treat extreme funding rates as confirmation of a one-way trend.

Here are the only few contract-market items worth watching today. There is only one truly verifiable signal: when prices rise, does the open interest surge in sync?
$BMT rose 50.7%, and open interest jumped 139.8%—this is not just a price pulse with low volume. Funding rate is as low as -0.908%, meaning the cost paid by shorts is already at an extreme level. If positions continue piling up, it becomes easy to get squeezed. $Lobster rose 44.8%, but open interest did not increase. The rally was very aggressive, yet new positions didn’t keep up. In this kind of structure, first see whether the momentum can truly convert into contract positioning. $STAR rose 35.2%, and open interest increased in parallel by 77.0%—new capital clearly moved in. Active buy and sell order flow is basically balanced; right now, what’s more worth watching is whether the newly added positions can continue expanding.
The 4th through the 10th places are, in order: TAC up 24.6%, BR up 19.7%, H up 15.8%, ONG up 15.0%, STX up 14.4%, KOMA up 14.0%, and BTR up 13.6%.
Overall, it’s a high-volatility coin group squeeze, but the ones with real position support are mainly BMT and STAR. Pay special attention to BMT’s open-interest continuity. If the price keeps pushing higher but open interest clearly drops, then this short-squeeze signal is considered invalid. $BMT $STAR $Lobster #ContractHotTopics

As of 02:00 AM, TAC is up 41.7%, with open interest surging 123.9%—the most prominent abnormality among the top ten. $TAC current price is 0.002612, not far from the 24h high of 0.002787. Trading volume reached $173 million, and the aggressive buy side has a slight edge. Price increase, trading volume, and open interest are all expanding at the same time. This isn’t a pulse driven by low volume, but the number of long participants is already on the high side. Next, we need to see whether newly added positions can continue to be absorbed by matching buy demand.
$STAR is up 35.1%, with open interest growing 66.5%. Its current price is 0.16684, already close to the 24h high of 0.16901. Aggressive buy orders dominate, while the number of short participants is slightly higher. The structure supports further squeezing, but the 0.089% funding rate also indicates that chasing longs are paying a relatively high cost. $ONG is up 34.0%, with open interest up 68.6%. Trading volume reached $448 million, making it the most solid by volume among the top three. Aggressive buy and sell sides are basically balanced, but the number of shorts is still higher. After the price rebounded from 0.10832 back to 0.10004, the strength of the rebound vs. selling is worth watching.
In the downtrend direction, VELVET is down 20.4%, yet open interest actually increases by 30.2%. Aggressive sell orders clearly dominate, while the number of long participants reaches 2.21 times that of shorts. This isn’t just a simple pullback on reduced volume. Instead, new positions are still stacking up, with long pressure and shorts paying funding costs both present—order-book divergence is very direct.
The 4th to 10th movers are: LOBSTER up 26.6%, HANA up 23.7%, BR up 21.3%, STX up 18.2%, BMT up 15.9%, JASMY up 15.4%, and ZRO up 15.2%. The candidates for a short-squeeze are concentrated in TAC, STAR, and ONG. The key signal isn’t an extreme funding rate; it’s that their open interest is rising sharply—123.9%, 66.5%, and 68.6% respectively. Leverage is rapidly concentrating.
Overall, it looks like a group of a few high-volatility coins. The top three on the gainers list all show a surge in open interest. For continuation, first focus on whether TAC’s成交 (trading) can keep absorbing the newly added positions. #合约热点 # Order-book observation

Contract Order Book Daily|8/25 Breakout Unstable—Leverage First Retreats
The last signal was price and inventory rising together, but the proactive buy side lagged. At 23:00 tonight, the marked price for $BTC returned to $79,124, with a daily change of -0.46%. The news of briefly breaking above $80,000 has not translated into holding above that level, and the weak-buy signal continues.
Open interest fell to $8.543 billion, down 1.5% from the previous value, indicating that during the pullback, some capital proactively de-leveraged. The ratio of proactive buy volume to proactive sell volume is only 0.94—sellers still hold the advantage; the long share is 48%, further suggesting the current market is not broadly crowded with longs. However, the funding rate is still positive at +0.01%, and the sentiment index is 74. Spot sentiment is overheated, which diverges from the weaker derivatives buying.
One BTC long position worth about $47.85 million with 20x leverage has been publicly flagged, with the disclosed liquidation price at $65,725. This kind of large position is more like a volatility amplifier and does not indicate market direction; if the price continues to lose support, large-position reductions can intensify short-term sell pressure. At the same time, U.S. tariff proposals point to Canada and China. Canada is preparing countermeasures, and tariff-related news shocks can prompt high-leverage positions to be cleared first.
In smaller coins, crowding is even more extreme. For $STORJ , the funding rate is as low as -1.013%, meaning short costs are too high—there is a risk of reverse short squeeze; for $NET , the funding rate has risen to +0.127%, making the risk of long liquidations from chasing price more pronounced.
Next, first audit the $80,000 level. Only if price reclaims that area, proactive buy volume surpasses sell volume, and open interest resumes growth will the breakout be considered to have regained derivatives capital confirmation. Otherwise, the current structure remains one of overheated sentiment with insufficient buying.

Bearish early-session, high-level distribution warning recap from about 13 hours ago: all three have weakened and realized gains, but one still has some support and a pullback comeback, and it hasn’t clearly broken into a straightforward, one-way decline yet. Initial watch recap: the chips have dispersed.
STORJ: Realized gains; the bearish view for the morning has already played out. After the initial call, the price fell 14.13%, and the open interest also dropped 37.68%, indicating that the heat at the high level quickly withdrew. Although active buy volume has risen, it didn’t stop the price from weakening—currently it looks more like turnover during a decline.
ZAMA: Realized gains; the direction was right, but among the three it’s the one with the weakest pullback strength. After the initial call, the price fell 4.04%, and open interest decreased by 6.29%, suggesting insufficient follow-through for the upmove. However, active buy volume clearly rebounded, so support has not completely disappeared—therefore it can’t be written off as a clear one-way selloff yet.
PORTAL: Realized gains; the high-level distribution warning in the morning received confirmation from the price. After the initial call, the price pulled back 11.84%, and open interest fell 22.39%, indicating that when the price weakened, participation in the market also retreated. Active buy volume cooled slightly, and current support still looks relatively thin.
Next, we will jointly keep an eye on whether, as the price continues to weaken, open interest keeps decreasing, and whether active buy volume can once again take back control. If the price stops falling, open interest rebounds, and active buy volume keeps strengthening, that would be a counterargument to this pullback line and would require a recheck. $STORJ $ZAMA $PORTAL #Contract recap

About 13 hours ago, that morning set of “Pulling-Back Observation · Bullish” had its 2nd review: 1 out of 3 made it through; 2 didn’t catch the follow-through.
Chips are being held/absorbed (accumulation is tightening).
SUPER: Fire went out; the morning bullish setup didn’t manage to break through. After the initial breakout, the price pulled back by 3.13%, and the trend has already deviated from the original direction. Open interest also decreased by 9.00%, indicating that the added positions weren’t picked up; even as proactive buying rebounded, it still couldn’t reverse the price performance.
AERO: Fire went out; the morning bullish setup also didn’t make it through. After the initial breakout, the price pulled back by 3.10%, and the prior upside gains clearly narrowed. Open interest fell by 9.14%, suggesting that although trading volume increased, the position-taking/holding wasn’t sufficient—continuation of the bullish move was weakened.
POL: Realization (it worked); this bullish trade made it through. After the initial breakout, the price continued to rise by 5.95%, matching the direction indicated by the morning observation. Open interest increased by 14.99%, showing that as price moved up there was additional positioning to follow in. However, proactive buying was weaker than at the initial breakout, so we still need to watch for ongoing sustainability.
Next, jointly monitor whether price strength can be maintained, whether open interest continues to cooperate, and whether proactive buying can regain momentum. If the price gives back and open interest keeps retreating, that would be a counter-signal requiring re-review and confirmation of this bullish line.

This morning’s 24-hour top 3 gainers ranking: as of 18:00 Beijing time, now let’s reconcile.
TAC: Fulfilled. After the initial offering, the price continued to rise by 3.32%, and open interest increased by 15.98%.
Price and open interest moved upward in the same direction; long positions are still expanding, but this doesn’t necessarily mean the uptrend will continue one-sidedly.
PROM: Fulfilled. After the initial offering, the price continued to rise by 11.24%, and open interest increased by 11.74%.
The volume-price structure is still somewhat bullish, but the advantage of active buy orders has already narrowed, and long/short positions are closer to balance.
UAI: Fizzled. After the initial offering, the price dropped by 8.03%, and open interest decreased by 16.25%.
Price and open interest fell in sync, and the position reduction is clearly evident. The risk of pullback from high levels still needs to be watched.
In the evening, focus on whether price and open interest can continue moving in the same direction. If for rising coins the open interest no longer follows, or if UAI continues with both price and positions declining, volatility and drawdown risk may further increase. #TAC #PROM #UAI # Contract recap

Bearish morning breakdown from about 6 hours ago, high-level distribution warning—recap: in 3 contracts, STORJ and PORTAL delivered weakness, while ZAMA is still tangled; the result is 2 delivered breakdowns and 1 that has not yet exited a sideways-to-down move.
The chips are dispersing.
STORJ: Delivered; the bearish direction from the morning has already played out. After the initial release, the price continued to weaken by 14.46%, and the pullback has taken shape. Open interest also fell in tandem by 31.39%, indicating that the high-level momentum has clearly cooled off, and the follow-through is thinning.
ZAMA: Tangled; the morning bearish view has not yet received confirmation of a one-way downward move. After the initial release, the price actually ticked up by 0.07%, and the original direction did not continue to extend. The active buy/sell order indicator rose by 0.10 compared with the initial release, suggesting that active buying has not continued to retreat. At present, it still needs to be treated as a genuine tug-of-war.
PORTAL: Delivered; the pullback direction hinted by the morning warning has appeared. After the initial release, the price weakened by 5.18%, and the earlier gains have been significantly given back. The active buy/sell order indicator dropped from 1.14 to 0.94, indicating that active buying has pulled back, and the order-book support is weaker than at the time of the initial release.
Next, the focus is on whether the pullback rebound in STORJ and PORTAL can be suppressed again, and whether ZAMA shows signs of price turning weaker and active buying declining—confirming that this pullback continues to unfold. If the price turns stronger again while open interest and active buying recover together, that would form a counter-argument. In that case, this high-level distribution watch would need to be re-examined.

Review of the morning bullish pull-up observation about 6 hours ago: out of 3 contracts, 1 broke out while 2 failed to hold.
Initial observation recap: the positions’ “chips” are consolidating.
SUPER: tug-of-war; the morning bullish move hasn’t broken out yet. After the initial call, the price dipped by 0.29%, not continuing in the bullish direction. Open interest fell in step by 1.56%. Although the aggressive buy-side improved, price and open interest have not formed one-sided confirmation yet.
AERO: tug-of-war; price moved up, but the order-book confirmation is still incomplete. After the initial call, the price rose 2.88%, showing that the bullish direction hasn’t been invalidated. However, open interest only increased by 1.75%, and aggressive buying still isn’t dominant. For now, it still looks more like bulls and bears are continuing to tug back and forth.
POL: realized/proved it—this bullish setup broke out. After the initial call, the price continued rising by 3.43%, and open interest simultaneously increased by 5.06%, indicating that the upward move gained fresh positioning support. Aggressive buying has weakened a bit, but nothing has changed the outcome of this realization so far.
Next, we’ll jointly watch whether price can continue moving up, whether open interest can increase in sync, and whether aggressive buying can regain dominance. If price turns weak and open interest keeps backing off, that would be contrarian evidence against this continuation move, and we’d need to observe again.
