Don't treat today's wave as an ordinary rebound; the most aggressive part of the market is where funds are forcing their way into a few select names.

$BTW +100.1%, this is the brightest contract market today.
Trading volume reached $305 million, with the increase in price and volume expanding together, unlike the chaotic swings with no volume.
More importantly, open interest (OI) surged by 176.4%, new positions are not slowly entering but flooding in on an hourly basis, and later we need to watch if it can continue to withstand the trading heat.
$BABY +40.8%, this has more of a short squeeze feel than BTW.
Funding rate is at -0.439%, indicating that short sellers are paying a very extreme fee, and OI has also exploded by 292.9%, showing that it's not short sellers retreating but still holding on hard.
This kind of structure becomes more volatile the longer it drags on; the market fears not just large gains but also the side that is losing money not giving up.
$Lobster +20.3%, trading volume of $72 million, the data isn't as explosive as BTW and BABY, but it’s cleaner in its movement.
It doesn't show obvious OI expansion data, temporarily seeming to move first on the price side, and later we need to see if trading volume can catch up.
If volume can't keep pace, it’s easy for a strong name to turn into a sentiment-following one.
There are also signals on the downside.
$ZEC -32.3%, OI down 8.0%, not just a simple sell-off, but more like some positions have already been liquidated.
D -32.2%, OI down 32.8%, with more obvious retreat.
COS -32.1%, funding rate at -0.106%, but OI also decreased by 22.4%, indicating that the pressure has shifted from tug-of-war to position reduction and liquidation.
Top 4-10 briefly summarized.
BEAT +19.0%, NFP +17.3%, 4 +16.1%, BAS +12.6%, CLO +12.2%, TUT +11.6%, ICNT +11.5%.
Overall, today is not a broad rally across the board, but a concentration of strength in names like BTW and BABY that have volume, OI, and opposing orders.
Next, focus on whether BTW’s OI continues to expand and whether BABY’s extreme negative funding rate will keep tightening the market. #Contract Market
