83.41% 24-hour increase, combined with a 206.8% surge in open interest, this is not normal market manipulation, but a sudden squeeze of positions overnight.
$BTW surged from 0.0286 all the way to a high of 0.061493, nearly doubling the low point.
Trading volume hit 345.5 million USD, but the current open interest is only 7.2 million USD.
The cause is very clear; funds are not gradually building up, but suddenly rushing in.
A 206.8% increase in open interest in one day indicates new positions are entering wildly, not just the spot market drifting on its own.
The bulls are still paying continuously for three periods, with a funding rate of 0.0347%, meaning those chasing the rally are willing to pay tolls to stay in the game.
Market reactions are also interesting.
Active buy-sell ratio is 1.08, with buy orders slightly ahead, but the ratio of bullish to bearish traders is only 0.67, with only 40% of accounts holding long positions.
This is not a market-wide frenzy in one direction, but many traders are hesitant to chase, while a few directional funds are still pushing prices higher.
This is where the risk boundary lies.
One-hour open interest has already fallen by 4.9%, indicating positions at high levels are starting to loosen.
If the price remains high but open interest continues to decline, it could mean the first wave of leveraged funds is pulling out.
If trading volume continues to expand and open interest rises again, the overnight squeeze is not over yet.
Next, focus on three things:
Can the price near 0.061493 break out again with increased volume? Can open interest stop falling and rebound? Will the funding rate keep making bulls pay?
