The top spot has changed hands, and the anomaly is not in the price increase but in the fee rate.
30 minutes ago, the leader was $NIL, with a 68.28% increase.
Now, the leader has become $PORTAL, with a 41.19% increase.
This is not a retracement of the same asset but a rotation of hot spots in the contract abnormality list.
The key figure is the funding rate from -0.0075% to -0.085%.
It indicates that the selling pressure paid by short sellers has significantly increased.
Adding to that, eight consecutive periods of short seller funding payments suggest that some funds are still pushing against the trend.
But the second layer of meaning is even more critical.
$PORTAL 's open interest (OI) is only $7.1 million, and it has decreased slightly by 1.1% over 24 hours.
This indicates that this trend is not driven by large-scale position accumulation.
However, the 1-hour OI suddenly increased by 10.5%, suggesting short-term positions are re-entering.
The trading volume is $211.0 million, but the OI is only $7.1 million, showing a mismatch between trading activity and open interest.
This kind of structure is prone to rapid rises and quick reversals.
In terms of direction, the taker fee rate has dropped from 1.13 to 1.01, indicating that active buy orders do not have a strong advantage.
The long-short ratio shows longs at 54%, and the top accounts have a long-short ratio of 1.26, suggesting that the chasing-up side is starting to gain the upper hand.
At the same time, the contract premium is -0.1192%, indicating that the contract price is still below the spot price, and the bearish pressure has not been fully released.
The counter-signal is very clear.
If the price cannot reapproach the high of 0.02925, and the 1-hour increase in open interest shifts to a decline, it indicates that the short squeeze momentum is beginning to weaken.
If the premium turns positive and the fee rate rapidly narrows, it suggests that short sellers are passively covering their positions in the later stage.
$PORTAL The current market looks more like a continuation of a second-half short squeeze rather than a newly initiated trend-building position.
The most specific point to watch next is whether there will be a volume breakout around 0.02925.
