$IRYS's short-term trend is quite interesting. If you look closely, you'll notice that this upward movement is mainly driven by the derivatives market. Whenever retail investors want to sell off for arbitrage, the buy orders in the spot market immediately absorb this pressure. Open interest is rising sharply. The underlying game theory behind this is quite worth pondering—derivatives longs are accumulating positions, while the spot market is simultaneously absorbing the sell pressure, forming a relatively stable support.

Derivatives are aggressively accumulating positions, retail investors are still sleepwalking through arbitrage. This script has been written long ago, hasn't it?

Yeah, the recent derivatives operation was really aggressive; retail investors simply can't keep up.

Derivatives are pushing the market up while spot is catching up. I've seen this tactic many times; retail investors are about to get cut again.

Wow, I see what's going on. Big players are eating up the spot market, futures longs are accumulating wildly, and retail investors are still arbitraging there. LOL

Derivatives are artificially pumping the market, retail investors can't sell out. This move is a bit ruthless.

Derivatives are accumulating wildly. Retail investors get wiped out with a single sell-off. This pace looks like someone is coordinating behind the scenes.
