$OPN is not simply a rebound rally, but rather the leading capital shifting from $LAB to another script.

Common views often consider the top-performing asset as a sign of the same strength, but this time the contrast is very large.
30 minutes ago, the top was $LAB, with a 51.08% increase; now the top has become $OPN, with a 65.94% increase.
This indicates that market hot money has not disappeared but is rapidly rotating between high-volatility contracts.
The most abnormal data is that the open interest (OI) over 24 hours changed from +52.0% to $OPN 's +255.0%.
This is not ordinary trading volume amplification but a concentrated influx of positions.
At the same time, $OPN 's 1-hour OI is -6.7%, indicating a short-term deleveraging cycle has begun.
In plain language, it means that over the past 24 hours, some traders aggressively entered the market to push up volatility, but in the last hour, some positions are being withdrawn.
Funding rates are also very important.
$LAB 's rate was +0.0622% then, and now $OPN only has +0.005%.
The shift from high-rate crowded longs to low-rate light longs paying fees suggests $OPN has not yet entered an extreme long-cost zone.
This is not directly bullish for the trend but indicates that the short squeeze fuel and long crowding are not yet in an overheated state like $LAB .
Order book direction is rather less optimistic.
Taker fees dropped from 1.05 to 0.93, indicating that active buy orders are weaker than in the previous top.
Retail long proportion increased from 24% to 42%, showing that the chasing-buy sentiment has risen but has not yet reached full bullish consensus.
If the price continues to approach the 24-hour high of 0.274, and the open interest turns positive again, with Taker above 1, that would be a signal of capital accelerating again.
Conversely, if the price falls back while OI continues to decline—especially if it drops below around 0.199 without active buy support—that looks more like a retreat in the second half.
The key points to watch are: the 0.274 high, the current price around 0.199, the 24-hour low at 0.1186, and whether the 1-hour OI can turn positive from -6.7%.
