🚨 OP LOST ITS 20% RALLY — BUT LEVERAGE IS STILL BUILDING
This morning, $OP was up over 20%
Now it's trading near $0.139 after hotter-than-expected US CPI
📉 The futures data tells a more interesting story
• OP: −3.18% in 24H
• Open Interest: 167.3M OP, up from 156.1M this morning
• Top-trader accounts: 70.39% net long
• Funding: −0.01066%
Price is falling, but open interest keeps expanding
That's where I'd start paying attention
More positions are being opened while the market moves lower, yet top traders remain heavily tilted long
👀 But don't confuse positioning with conviction
Negative funding alongside a strong top-trader long bias suggests the market is more complicated than a simple crowded-long trade
Rising OI doesn't prove longs are getting liquidated either
⚠️ My decision map
• Below $0.1384 — A failed reclaim would increase downside risk
• Above $0.148–$0.150 — Holding a reclaim would challenge the bearish structure
Until then, I'd avoid chasing either side
The biggest trap after a sharp move isn't missing the entry — it's mistaking leverage for genuine demand
