About 6 hours ago, among 3 contracts that had a bearish warning and were distributing at the high level in the morning, 1 has been confirmed (realized), while 2 are still lingering/dragging; for now, a complete one-sided bearish move has not formed.
The order flow is dispersing.
AERO: Lingering. The bearish move in the morning has only produced a slight pullback and has not yet delivered a one-sided downside confirmation. After the initial move, the price pulled back 0.99%, and open interest decreased by 1.05% at the same time, suggesting that the heat above has loosened somewhat, but the force is limited. Meanwhile, the aggressive buy-side actually increased—support has not clearly thinned—so this cannot be counted as “confirmed/realized” for now.
ROBO: Confirmed (realized). This morning’s bearish move has already played out. After the initial push, the price continued to weaken by 9.41%, aligning with the high-level distribution bearish warning. Open interest fell by 12.09%, and aggressive buy orders also retreated, indicating that participation money withdrew in sync during the pullback.
ESP: Lingering. The price has weakened slightly, but the bearish setup in the morning has not yet produced a one-sided confirmation. After the initial move, the price only pulled back 0.33%, and open interest decreased by 2.36%, so the downside pressure remains limited. Aggressive buy orders have not faded; support has not clearly thinned, which reduces the confirmation that further downside will continue.
Next, jointly watch whether price can continue to press lower, and also observe whether aggressive buy orders weaken and whether open interest contracts further, to confirm this pullback. If AERO and ESP turn stronger again and aggressive buy orders continue to strengthen, that would form a bullish counter-signal to the early bearish thesis—requiring a re-evaluation of this line.

Bullish morning watch-and-pullback recap from about 6 hours ago: out of 3 contracts, 2 made it through, and 1 didn’t hold.
Initial watch recap: the chips are settling.
MMT: realization—this bullish move broke through; price continues pushing along the morning direction. After the first move, price rose 16.17%, and the bullish direction was sustained. Open interest increased by 39.31% at the same time, suggesting that as price moved upward, contract heat was also being carried forward.
ONDO: tug-of-war—the bullish move from the morning didn’t break through; both price and open interest lagged. After the first move, price pulled back 2.45%, and the trend had already deviated from the original direction. Open interest decreased by 6.44%, and the active buy-side momentum also noticeably weakened; conditions for a one-way upward move have not formed yet.
GIGGLE: realization—this bullish move also broke through; price continued higher. After the first move, price rose 5.11%, and the morning direction was兑现ed. Open interest increased by 14.91%, indicating that during the advance there was still new positioning being added and taken hold of.
Next, together watch whether price can hold the gains after the initial move, and whether open interest continues to cooperate and whether active buying remains. If MMT and GIGGLE give back the gains and open interest also retreats in sync, that would be a negative confirmation of continued weakening; for ONDO, wait until price, open interest, and active buying are aligned again in the same direction before re-evaluating the bullish logic from the morning.

Contract Order Book Daily|7/31 Price stalls while positions are raised first
The midday order book anomaly is that leverage is running faster than the price. The mark price of $BTC is $64,358.7, up only 0.18%, yet the contract open interest has risen to about $6.748 billion, an increase of 0.6%. The aggressive buy side is only about 2% larger than the sell side, which is not enough to explain the faster expansion of positions.
The Fear & Greed index is still at 25, but the long-side share has already reached 59%, and the funding rate remains positive at 0.01%. This is not a turn for the better in sentiment; rather, in the fear zone, someone has piled longs early. If price doesn’t cooperate, deleveraging will start first from the crowded positions.
Two pieces of news reinforce this risk line. Coinbase’s Q2 performance came in below expectations. The direct reason was a slowdown in spot trading, indicating that current spot bid support is not firm enough. Although U.S. senators have submitted revised moral provisions for the “CLARITY Act” to the White House, the approval window before the Senate adjourns is narrowing. In the short term, it’s easier to generate headline-driven volatility than to bring in stable incremental capital.
The invalidation conditions for the current signals are very clear: aggressive buying stays consistently higher than selling, the price increase outpaces the increase in open interest, and the long-side share falls back from 59%. Until these three occur at the same time, around $64,358.7 we will still treat it as “positions lead, price lags.”

At 10:00 Beijing time, during the morning session, the top 3 on Binance Contracts’ 24-hour gainers list right now are KOMA, SNXX, and AXTI in that order. For those watching closely, here’s a quick check—this time we only look at one verifiable signal: whether the increase in open interest still expands in tandem with price gains.
KOMA is up 73.73% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume of about $239 million, and open interest up 387.7% over 24 hours. However, open interest fell 7.8% in the last hour—short-term expansion has already started to cool. If open interest continues to contract over the next hour, the signal of synchronized expansion between gains and open interest will be invalidated.
SNXX is up 61.87% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume of about $843 million, and open interest up 11.4% over 24 hours. In the last hour, open interest is still increasing by 2.4%, so the expansion is not yet interrupted. If open interest turns into a sustained decline over the next hour, this confirmation signal will be invalidated.
AXTI is up 47.95% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume of about $42.29 million, and open interest up 82.3% over 24 hours. In the last hour, open interest continues to rise by 7.9%, but compared with the other two, its trading scale is smaller. If open interest shifts from rising to falling over the next hour, the open-interest expansion signal will be invalidated.
The common point to watch across all three is whether open interest over the next hour can continue to cooperate with the price gains. Gainers on this list often experience amplified volatility at elevated levels. Once open interest contracts and price pulls back at the same time, short-term risk will rise noticeably. #KOMA #SNXX #AXTI #contract order book

Contracts that may see a downward drift and pullback today
Leaning toward a downward drift and pullback. AERO, ROBO, and ESP prices may still be rising, but the structure has already loosened—don’t only look at the green percentage gains. What to fear isn’t that it won’t rise, but that as it keeps rising, the order support gets thinner; then watch whether the pullback is able to confirm.
For AERO, the current price is 0.4323. It’s still up 3.79% on the day, but after open interest in the last 24 hours increased by 8.9%, it has turned to a decrease of 0.3% in the past hour. The contract premium rate is -0.0864%. When price rises, short-term positioning doesn’t keep increasing in sync. The liquidity/order flow is scattered. A counter-indication: the buy/sell aggressor ratio remains at 1.11, and the super trend is still pointing upward—buyers haven’t completely weakened yet.
For ROBO, the current price is 0.01434. The intraday gain has reached 26.45%. Open interest in the last 24 hours increased by 73.1%, and the relative strength indicator has risen to 72.3, entering the overbought zone. With a high surge rate combined with rapidly inflowing positions, chasing the top can leave you simultaneously battered by both snapback and pullback. The liquidity/order flow is scattered. A counter-indication: the buy/sell aggressor ratio is 1.26—current aggressive buying still has the advantage.
For ESP, the current price is 0.07048. It’s up 10.94% on the day, but in the past hour open interest has decreased by 3.2%, and the contract premium rate is -0.2314%. The upside is still there, but short-term position activity and the contract price are no longer confirming in sync as strongly. The liquidity/order flow is scattered. A counter-indication: the buy/sell aggressor ratio is still 1.13, and the super trend remains upward. If support keeps thinning, this pullback line is already playing out; if volume increases again and price holds back above, then this assessment must be reconsidered.

From this order flow, I see that all three of their 24-hour prices are trending upward; open interest is increasing in parallel; the aggressive buy side is dominant; and the chips are getting consolidated.
Next, keep an eye on whether price strength, open interest growth, and the aggressive buy side can continue to be confirmed.
MMT: Up 32.5% in the last 24 hours; open interest up 142.3% over the last 24 hours. This indicates that price and positioning are expanding together, and the upside structure remains strong. A counterpoint is that the relative strength indicator has reached 73.2 and entered the overbought zone, so short-term volatility may amplify.
ONDO: Up 3.02% in the last 24 hours; the buy/sell ratio for aggressive orders is 1.24. This suggests that while price is following the trend modestly, the aggressive buy side is still in control. A counterpoint is that the share of retail long positions has reached 67%, meaning the long structure is already somewhat crowded.
GIGGLE: Up 18.11% in the last 24 hours; open interest up 55.6% over the last 24 hours. This suggests that the upward move is being followed by new positions, and current relative strength is prominent. A counterpoint is that open interest over the past 1 hour has fallen 0.1%, indicating a slight pause in confirmation for short-cycle positioning.
If price remains strong, open interest keeps growing, and the aggressive buy advantage continues to hold, this line will keep running; if open interest keeps falling or the advantage of aggressive buying disappears, then this direction needs to be reassessed.

Contract Order Book Daily Report | 7/31 Fear Not Gone Yet, Leverage Accelerates
The anomaly at 07:00 was emotion and positioning moving in opposite directions: the Fear & Greed index remains in the fear zone around 28. The mark price of $BTC rose to $64,821.51, yet open interest increased in parallel by 3.6% to $6.91 billion. The aggressive buy/sell order ratio is 1.26, indicating buy-the-risers dominance; the long position share is 55%, and the funding rate is +0.0091%, bullish but not yet at an extreme. If the aggressive buy/sell ratio falls back below 1 while open interest continues to grow, the “buy-side absorbs leverage” signal would fail, and risk would shift toward longs deleveraging.
Coinbase’s Q2 performance missed expectations, mainly because spot trading cooled off. This suggests the current rebound is driven more by leverage/derivatives positioning expansion than by a broad return of spot activity. The failure condition is: major trading platforms’ spot transaction activity keeps expanding consecutively, and at the same time, when price rises, the growth rate of futures open interest begins to slow down.
The U.S. crypto market structure bill has been further delayed due to added moral constraints. Related anti-corruption proposals also directly point to Trump’s crypto business, making the policy sensitivity around $TRUMP even more pronounced. Its aggressive buy/sell ratio is only 0.8993, but the global long/short ratio is as high as 1.84 to 2.72. Approximately $34 million in open positions is clearly tilted toward longs—this is weak buying propping up an overcrowded trade. Only when the aggressive buy/sell ratio climbs back above 1 and trend indicators strengthen again can this long squeeze risk be considered resolved.
Strategy reported a Q2 loss of $8.2 billion, yet Bitcoin positions increased by 11%. At this stage, it looks more like mark-to-market volatility rather than confirmed liquidation/selling. The real risk boundary is not the loss headline, but subsequent declines in positions or large assets being transferred to exchanges; until then, this news should not be equated directly with spot sell pressure.

Morning capital is clearly clustered, and the top three all surged by more than 50%. The conflict between open interest and the funding rate is more interesting than just looking at price gains.
$KOMA is up 78.1%, currently at 0.013976, with a trading volume of $201 million. Open interest has jumped 400.8%. The aggressive buy-side is slightly stronger, but the long-vs-short ratio is only 0.77—both chasing-buy capital and hard-backed shorts are pouring in at the same time.
$SNXX is up 73.5%, currently at 11.35, with a trading volume of $714 million. The funding rate has fallen to -0.096%. The fee burden borne by shorts has become extremely harsh, but open interest actually decreased by 0.9%, meaning the squeeze structure is still compressing.
$AXTI is up 51.9%, currently at 56.92, with a trading volume of $34.47 million. Open interest increased by 87.3%. Aggressive buys have a slight edge, but the long-vs-short ratio is only 0.88—disagreement hasn’t disappeared along with the rally.
Overall, it’s a high-volatility coin cluster that’s爆发ing (bursting) in a concentrated way. Focus on whether KOMA’s新增持仓 can continue, and how long SNXX’s extreme negative funding rate can last.
Ranks 4 to 10 are also strong: MUU up 51.1%, MVLL up 43.6%, KORU up 40.0%, MMT up 39.7%, SOXL up 37.4%, NBIS up 35.0%, and IREN up 34.7%. On the other side, BANK is down 65.0%, open interest down 25.2%, funding rate dropped to -0.207%, yet the long-vs-short ratio reaches 1.35—decline, de-leveraging, and long overcrowding all show up together.
The currently clear squeeze candidates are KOMA, SNXX, and AXTI. KOMA is watching new open interest, SNXX is watching short-side fees, and AXTI is watching the continuation of volume and price.
Today’s hot tokens—watch only these few. KOMA’s position size surged by 331.1%, MMT increased by 107.1%, but SNXX withdrew 27.1% while the price was still surging. The three order books are showing three different structures.
$KOMA is up 73.5%, currently at 0.013807, with $172 million in trading volume. Price is close to the 24-hour high of 0.01469. In the active trades, buyers have a slight edge, and position size has also flooded in again by multiples. This isn’t a pulse without volume. The long/short accounts ratio is only 0.9—short accounts are still slightly more, but this kind of high-level position-adding structure tends to keep squeezing shorts.
$SNXX is up 39.1%, currently at 10.1, with trading volume reaching $704 million. Price is near the 24-hour high of 10.33, but position size fell by 27.1%. In active trades, sellers have the advantage. This looks more like closing positions being driven out rather than new money chasing the upside. Trading is “on the tape”; whether it can add positions again afterward is the key.
$MMT is up 34.0%, currently at 0.2406, with trading volume of $64.41 million. Position size increased by 107.1%, and active trades show a clear buyer advantage. The funding rate is negative, indicating shorts are still paying and taking pressure. Price is not far from the 0.2563 high—this squeeze-style structure is more interesting than looking at the gain alone.
Ranks 4 through 10 are, in order: CAP up 29.5%, ROBO up 25.0%, MUU up 24.4%, ESP up 24.1%, AXTI up 22.7%, KORU up 22.4%, and SNDK up 20.1%. On the downside, BANK plunged 58.3%, while position size dropped 24.8%—a clear sign of funds leaving. Overall, capital is clustering around a small number of high-volatility names. For continuity, focus on whether KOMA’s newly added positions can be held, and whether MMT’s active-trade buying can be maintained.

Contract Order Book Daily Report | 7/30 Price Rises as Open Interest Increases; Buy Side Not Yet Confirmed
At 23:00, the most notable anomaly is in $BTC : the mark price is 64,639.69, up 0.88%, but open interest has increased to 6.895 billion USD, up 5.6%.
Position growth is clearly faster than price. Longs account for 56%, the aggressive buy/sell ratio is 1.0, suggesting leverage is increasing—but the aggressive buy side does not have an advantage.
If price continues to rise and the aggressive buy/sell ratio remains stably above 1, then this crowded signal would no longer hold; otherwise, if open interest keeps climbing while price stalls, be careful that longs may de-leverage.
Fear index is still at 28, but the funding rates for mainstream contracts are all positive, creating a divergence between relatively cool sentiment and an overly long positioning.
Extreme funding rates are even more direct: LA drops to -0.801%, indicating shorts are clearly crowded; ZHIPU rises to +0.491%, meaning long costs are too high.
Only when funding rates move quickly back toward the neighborhood of zero can the squeeze risk at both ends be considered resolved.
Reportedly, the U.S. crypto market structure bill is expected to pass within the year, hoping to reduce; meanwhile, the current regulatory catalyst is weakening.
If later there is a clear review timeline or official progress, this negative outlook would be invalidated. Until then, it’s not advisable to treat leverage growth as trend confirmation directly.
Institutional trading share has reportedly reached 72%. When the Korean stock market is under pressure, local crypto trading is also rising.
This indicates that trading volume is concentrating toward large funds and risk-hedging rotation, but trading share does not equal net buying.
The current boundary is very clear: $BTC open interest continues to increase, while the aggressive buy side does not rise above 1. The harder it is for price to move up, the closer liquidation risk becomes.

A bearish distribution warning from the morning high level about 13 hours ago—post-review: 3 fully filled and realized; all 3 have weakened. For now, there are none still in the middle of a rebound or tug-of-war.
The order flow is dispersing.
KAITO: Realized; the bearish direction from this morning has already played out. After the initial launch, the price continued to weaken by 13.19%, indicating that the high-level pullback is still ongoing. Position size also fell in step by 24.64%, and liquidity/absorption thinned as price moved down.
EUL: Realized; the pullback from the morning alert has appeared. After the initial launch, the price weakened by 8.00%, and the direction shifted from up to down. The aggressive buy/sell ratio dropped to 0.68; the aggressive buy side clearly stepped back. We have not yet seen absorption strengthen again.
HOLO: Realized; the morning high-level distribution warning received confirmation from the order book. After the initial launch, the price pulled back 7.58%, and the prior upswing did not continue. The aggressive buy/sell ratio fell to 0.56, with the aggressive buy side stepping away even more clearly. The weak structure has not yet been reversed.
Next, we’ll jointly watch whether the price continues to weaken, and whether when position size declines, absorption becomes even thinner. If the aggressive buy side strengthens again and the price recovers back into the pullback range, that would serve as a counterexample—requiring us to re-check this bearish assessment. #KAITO #EUL #HOLO # Contract post-review

A morning bullish pullback watch and review from about 13 hours ago: among 3 contracts, MMT and UNI cashed out, COTI sputtered out; 2 moved through successfully, 1 didn’t get taken.
The chips are consolidating.
COTI: sputtered out; the morning bullish move didn’t break through. After the initial setup, price dropped by 7.62%, already deviating from the original bullish direction. Open interest also decreased by 15.90% in sync; although aggressive buy orders are slightly dominant, they didn’t translate into continued price and open-interest follow-through.
MMT: cashed out—this bullish play broke through. After the initial setup, price continued rising by 8.39%, while open interest increased by 36.07% at the same time, indicating new positions were added and absorbed during the upswing. Aggressive buy orders still remain slightly dominant; current price and open interest provide confirmation in the same direction as the morning bias.
UNI: cashed out—price continued along the morning bullish direction. After the initial setup, price kept climbing by 5.34%, and open interest rose by 8.50%, suggesting this leg higher wasn’t driven by price lifting alone. However, the advantage of aggressive buy orders narrowed compared with the initial setup; we still need to observe how strong the subsequent continuation is.
Next, we’ll watch together whether price can maintain strength, whether open interest continues to absorb, and whether aggressive buy orders can keep the edge. If MMT and UNI show price pullbacks accompanied by open-interest retreat, that would be a negation of the current continuation. For COTI, we’d need to see price and open interest rise in the same direction again before it’s worth revisiting that morning bullish line. #合约追踪 #Review

This morning’s 24-hour top 3 gainers are being reconciled now: two have stalled, and one is pulling back and forth.
COTI: Stalled. After the initial offering, the price fell 20.1%, and open interest dropped from 16.7736 million to 13.0459 million. The funding rate fell to -0.0431%, the aggressive buy/sell order ratio retreated to 1.01, and both volume and price contracted in tandem.
UAI: Stalled. After the initial offering, the price fell 24.26%, and open interest dropped from 12.4443 million to 8.0276 million. The funding rate remains at 0.0066%, but the aggressive buy/sell order ratio has dropped to 0.94; with the long share at 59%, it conflicts with the relatively stronger aggressive sell side.
PRL: Pulling back and forth. After the initial offering, the price fell 1.83%, and open interest declined slightly by 2.86%. The funding rate fell to 0.005%, the aggressive buy/sell order ratio is 0.97, and no one-sided confirmation has been provided yet.
For the evening, key things to watch are whether open interest can stop the downtrend, and whether the aggressive buy/sell order ratio can regain levels above 1. COTI and UAI have both already seen drawdowns of 20% or more, so high-level drawdown risk still needs to be kept in mind.

About 6 hours ago, among the 3 contracts that issued a bearish alert for a high-level distribution in the morning, KAITO and EUL played out, HOLO rebounded; the result was that 2 started to weaken, and 1 temporarily failed to break out into a one-way downward move.
First-look observation—review: The order flow is dispersing.
KAITO: It played out; the bearish direction from the morning has already come through. After the initial call, the price continued to weaken by 3.06%, while open interest fell in parallel by 6.55%, indicating that the pullback came along with a withdrawal of positions. However, the aggressive buy orders have not withdrawn at the same pace—whether weakness can persist still needs further confirmation.
EUL: It played out, and this is the most obvious one in this set for the pullback. After the initial call, the price dropped by 11.10%, and open interest decreased by 14.97%; both price and positions contracted at the same time. Aggressive buy orders are also declining; support has clearly thinned out, and the bearish alert has been confirmed by the order book.
HOLO: It rebounded; the bearish direction in the morning did not play out for now. After the initial call, the price actually rose by 3.31%, and open interest increased by 3.73%, directly weakening the original direction. Aggressive buy orders still dominate, and support has not thinned—so it currently cannot be hard-labeled as “played out.”
Next, watch whether the price can continue to weaken, and simultaneously whether aggressive buy orders are decreasing. Only when both move in sync can the pullback be considered further confirmed. The counter-evidence is also clear: if the price rebounds, and open interest along with aggressive buy orders strengthens in parallel, then this bearish line needs to be reassessed.

About 6 hours ago morning pullback: observe the 3 bullish signals. None of the 0 have broken through so far; all 3 were not taken, and everything is still just tugging.
The positioning is tightening.
COTI: tugging—no continuation for the morning bullish setup. After the initial breakout, the price pulled back by 1.31%, and open interest only increased by 0.22%, indicating the price didn’t follow through in the intended direction, and the position buildup is not clear enough. The active buy/sell pressure indicator is currently 1.00; the buy side has not formed a noticeable advantage yet.
MMT: tugging. Although the price moved up, it’s not enough to count as a fully bullish move that has broken out. After the initial breakout, the price rose by 0.89%, and open interest increased by 7.56%, suggesting new positioning has come in, but the price’s upside elasticity is still limited. The active buy/sell pressure indicator fell by 0.28 to 0.96; buy-side strength is weakening. For now, price and capital structure are still not synchronized.
UNI: tugging. The morning bullish setup also wasn’t held. After the initial breakout, the price fell back by 0.58%, and open interest only increased by 0.07%; there was no follow-through in direction, and positioning basically stayed where it was. The active buy/sell pressure indicator dropped to 0.66, and buy-side strength has clearly weakened—this is the most direct drag right now.
Next, we should jointly watch whether the price can regain strength, whether open interest can increase in sync, and whether active buying can return to the advantage zone. Only if these three improve at the same time is this current move still a confirmed one. If the price continues to be weak, open interest stalls, and active buying doesn’t recover, then the morning bullish logic needs to be reassessed. # Contract replay

Contract Order Book Daily|7/30 Fear Has Not Yet Faded; Leverage Is Being Increased First
The most obvious contradiction at midday is in $BTC : the mark price is $64,194, up 0.66%, while open interest simultaneously rises by 2.1% to $6.73 billion. Longs make up 60%, but the ratio of aggressive buy/sell orders is only 0.93, suggesting that new positions are tilted long, yet the actual chasing bid is not keeping up. The Fear & Greed Index remains at 28, meaning sentiment and leverage are not moving in the same direction.
Funding rates across major perpetual contracts are all positive, with $BTC at +0.01%—longs are paying to maintain their positions. Peripheral contracts are even more extreme: the LA funding rate is as low as -1.494%, with the highest short crowding; BNC reaches +0.423%, making the risk of a long squeeze more pronounced.
For $CXMT, the big longs and shorts are still hard-holding. One side holds a short position of about $20 million; it is currently down about $1.9 million on paper, and cumulative funding fees paid have already reached $1.04 million—indicating that this squeeze is increasingly dependent on margin rather than a directional call.
External catalysts are also not light. The U.S. crypto market structure bill has received support from regulators and multiple large financial institutions, but lawmakers are also pushing for stricter limits on conflicts of interest; Trump-related crypto projects face additional standalone regulatory pressure. With the Fed decision approaching, there is still disagreement over interest-rate expectations, and leveraged positions tend to react excessively to changes in expectations first.
The risk boundary is clear: if $BTC continues to rise, open interest continues to increase, and the aggressive buy/sell order ratio remains below 1, this looks more like a buildup of long leverage—not confirmation from spot buying. On the other hand, only when open interest cools and aggressive buying regains dominance can the current crowded structure be digested.

Here are the top 3 gainers on Binance Futures’ 24-hour performance list right now: COTI, UAI, and PRL—in that order. Here’s a quick rundown of the public order book for those monitoring closely.
COTI is currently trading at $0.018936. Over the past 24 hours, it’s up 75.95%, with trading volume of about $676 million. Open interest is around $16.77 million, up 104.3% over the last 24 hours—clearly a notable increase in new positions. The funding rate is -0.0008%. It has been paying shorts for 8 consecutive periods. The ratio of active buys to active sells is 1.11.
UAI is currently trading at $0.4822, up 58.31% over the past 24 hours. Open interest is about $12.44 million, up 231.7% over the last 24 hours, and it added another 7.9% in the most recent hour. The funding rate is 0.0352%. It has been paying longs for 8 consecutive periods. The contract premium is 0.448%, and the relative strength indicator has risen into the overbought zone at 79.2.
PRL is currently trading at $0.2191. Up 23.51% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume of about $16.85 million. Open interest is around $4.30 million, up 53.8% over the last 24 hours, and the active buy to active sell ratio is 1.14. The funding rate is 0.0229%, paying longs for 8 consecutive periods. The relative strength indicator is 70.7, also in the overbought zone.
Their common points are: they’re leading in percentage gains, open interest is increasing in sync, and their technical positioning has all already entered the overbought zone. In the morning, keep watching whether the increase in open positions can match trading volume, and whether the premium at high levels and long-side funding continue to expand. The quick pullbacks and chasing risk that are common among gainers should not be ignored. #COTI #UAI #PRL #Futures market

Contracts that may see a mild dip and pullback today
Leaning toward a dip and pullback. Don’t just look at the green % increase figures. Even if the prices of these coins are still rising, the structure is already loosening, liquidity/chips are dispersing, and the risk of chasing higher is increasing. What you’re afraid of isn’t that it won’t rise—it’s that while it’s rising, the support/absorption becomes thinner. Then you need to watch whether the pullback is starting to appear, and whether the thinning support can be confirmed.
KAITO: Current price 1.255, up 4.27%, but open interest has dropped 2.7% over the past hour, and the active buy/sell ratio is only 0.90. The price is still up, but the structure has loosened. Chasing-high orders are prone to be “tortured” by both a quick rebound and a pullback. The counterpoint is that the Super Trend is still pointing upward. If active buying recovers, the weakening speed may slow down.
EUL: Current price 1.6133, up 2.83%, active buy/sell ratio 0.96, and the contract premium rate is -0.8425%. Price is rising alongside negative premium; the follow-through hasn’t matched the apparent upside. The counterpoint is that open interest increased by 1.5% over the past hour, and the Super Trend is still up. The short-term structure hasn’t fully turned.
HOLO: Current price 0.07639, up 9.36%, open interest in the past 24 hours increased 27.2%, but over the past hour it has turned down 0.9%. After a quick influx of positions, things temporarily contract. Don’t only watch the 9.36% gain—next, keep an eye on whether the absorption/support will turn. The counterpoint is that the active buy/sell ratio is 1.18, and the Super Trend is still rising. The current buy pressure hasn’t disappeared yet. If the absorption continues to thin out, this pullback line is already playing out. If volume returns and it holds above, then this assessment needs to be rechecked.
Live trading record: This account currently holds a long position in FOGO. As long as the logic hasn’t changed, I will continue to hold.

Bullish. For this set of market data, I’m looking at prices and open interest rising in the same direction for all three. MMT and UNI have an advantage in proactive buy orders, while COTI shows a clear 24-hour synchronization between price and open interest—chips are being absorbed. Next, watch whether price strength, incremental open interest, and proactive buy orders can keep being confirmed.
COTI is up 57.04%. The 24-hour trading volume is about $598 million, open interest is about $15.3048 million, and it has increased by 92.1% in 24 hours. This indicates that as price strengthens, positioning is also expanding rapidly—the uptrend remains intact. The counterpoint is that the buy/sell ratio is only 0.99, and buyers have not yet formed a clear advantage.
MMT is up 1.86%. Open interest increased by 4.2% over the past 24 hours, and the buy/sell ratio has reached 1.24. This suggests price is moving slightly in line with the trend, supported by proactive buy orders. The counterpoint is that the funding rate has been paid by longs for 8 consecutive periods. If proactive buy orders weaken, the current strength needs to be re-verified.
UNI is up 2.55%. Open interest increased by 5.9% over the past 24 hours and by 3.0% in the last hour. The buy/sell ratio has reached 1.6. This suggests that price, positioning, and proactive buy orders are aligned in the same direction, and the uptrend is still in place. The counterpoint is that the long/short account ratio is 1.66 and longs account for 62%—the structure is already somewhat skewed.
If price remains strong and the increases in open interest and proactive buy orders continue to hold, this line will keep running. If price turns weak and comes with either a drop in open-interest increments or a break in proactive buy orders, then this direction needs to be reassessed.
Live account note: This account currently holds a FOGO long position. As long as the logic remains unchanged, I will continue to hold.

Contract Order Book Daily|7/30 Buy-side momentum continues; leverage is re-upped
Last time, the signal of “buy orders returning while leverage still retreats” only played out halfway. At around $BTC , the marked price was 63914.3, up 0.25%. The ratio of aggressive buy vs. aggressive sell orders rose to 1.4, indicating that active buy orders are still pressing harder than sell orders. However, total open interest has climbed 0.7% to $6.646 billion. The pullback in leverage seems to have ended, and capital has re-entered.
Currently, longs account for 61%, funding rate is positive at 0.0074%, and both long positions and position costs are rising. Yet the Fear & Greed index is only 29—spot sentiment remains skewed toward fear. The futures side, on the other hand, is already somewhat bullish. This mismatch can push prices higher, but it can also amplify drawdowns. $ETH is weaker: marked price 1906.01, down 0.27%, and the funding rate remains positive at 0.0027%. That means longs are paying, but the price isn’t cooperating.
There are three variables on the event side. The Federal Reserve keeps rates unchanged, but three officials lean toward further hikes—so high-leverage positions still need protection against sudden cooling. The U.S. crypto market structure bill is in its final stage, yet amendments are facing disagreements, meaning policy expectations may not generate a one-way catalyst for now. Japan reportedly plans to recognize crypto assets as financial assets, which is directionally positive, but it has not yet translated into order-book incremental inflows.
Next to check is whether price, volume, and positions move in sync. If the aggressive buy/sell ratio stays above 1, while open interest increases and price keeps pushing higher, then the continuation of buy-side dominance is validated. If open interest keeps rising while price turns down, the 61% long share can flip from support into liquidation pressure.
