$SOON (SOONUSDT) has fallen 26.521% within 24 hours; current price is 0.2017. Such a drop is no longer a normal pullback—it is the result of liquidity contraction, leveraged liquidation cascades, and weakening market confidence. Current OI is 50454455, indicating that the contract positions have not fully drained yet. After the price’s rapid plunge, a higher open interest means both longs and shorts may continue to be liquidated, and volatility has not truly ended.
The funding rate is 0.00005000, still positive. For small-cap altcoins like this, it’s especially worth being cautious that after a crash the funding rate does not turn negative: there are still people paying to go long—this could be bargain-hunting capital concentrating entries, or longs trapped in positions that have not yet been fully cleared. If the price keeps weakening, a positive funding rate combined with existing OI can easily trigger a second wave of long liquidations. If shorts chase too aggressively, it could also lead to a sudden “needle” spike and short squeezes within a short period. Therefore, the funding rate is not a standalone signal to go long; it must be assessed together with whether price can stop falling and whether OI is declining.
At the macro level, SOON is currently more affected by global risk appetite and expectations for U.S. dollar liquidity. Once political, military, or other sudden global news boosts risk-off sentiment, funds typically withdraw first from high-volatility assets, and small-cap tokens tend to feel more pressure than mainstream coins. From a Trump perspective, the market will continue trading its crypto policy statements, trade stance, and regulatory expectations. However, in the absence of clear new information, political narratives should not be taken as evidence that SOON’s trend will reverse.
At the micro level, discussions of oversold rebound by KOLs on the X platform can easily amplify sentiment, but they cannot replace order-book confirmation. My view is very clear: it is not suitable right now to blindly catch the falling knife with high leverage, nor is it advisable to heavily chase shorts after a big drop. Existing long positions should proactively reduce leverage and set hard stop-losses. Those currently in cash should wait for the price to stabilize and for OI to drop in sync before considering small-position trial trades. For short-term short positions, be wary of sudden spikes under low liquidity conditions. Control liquidation risk first—then talk about returns.

Will SOON next first clear the longs, or directly come into an oversold rebound?
