The old dog took a quick look: the price of
$BSP is currently 39.70000, the 24-hour drop is 17.515%, and the trading volume has reached 14218505.1368. What stands out most is that the funding rate is exactly 0, and the open interest is still 43348.61. The price has plunged sharply, and for now no one on either end seems willing to keep paying fees continuously. This indicates that although the volatility is large, the crowding direction hasn’t yet shown up in the funding rate.
Placed within the cyclical framework of semiconductors and AI chains, this kind of move looks more like a stage of re-pricing expectations. Upstream demand imagination, inventory cycles, and capital expenditure expectations will first tug against each other on highly volatile tickers; prices typically move ahead of fundamental validation. The problem is that this week provides no comparable data from the same sector. The old dog won’t force a narrative about who’s stronger or weaker, and can’t assert whether
$BSP is the leading core.
All I can confirm is that at the moment it has pulled back deeply, trading activity is strong, but open interest hasn’t declined in sync—positions within the market are still in a standoff. If the funding rate turns positive, that means longs pay shorts: longs start crowding, and if it keeps falling, watch out for a chain reaction of liquidations after longs add positions to get trapped. If it turns negative, that means shorts pay longs: once shorts crowd, there’s room for squeeze pressure. Right now it’s at 0, so no directional signal has appeared. Just buying the dip based on the magnitude of the drop is easy to catch the price while it’s still in the middle of a downswing.
My contrarian view is: when the market sees a 17.515% single-day drop and immediately shouts “bottom,” I don’t buy it. Open interest is still 43348.61, which suggests the chips haven’t been fully flushed out. And with funding at zero, you can’t say shorts are extremely overcrowded. 39.70000 is the only real price anchor in front of us. I’ll keep watching: if it breaks further down and can’t reclaim and hold above 39.70000, I won’t catch the falling knife. If it re-stabilizes above 39.70000, and open interest stops expanding while the funding rate remains close to 0, then I’ll take a small position.
If the rebound comes with a clearly positive funding rate and open interest keeps stacking up, I’d actually cut back—let the overcrowded longs go first to “pay tuition.”
Last time, the old dog treated the zero funding rate as a safety cushion and still got trapped in the volatility, unable to get out. This time, I’ll let the data speak first.
