The funding rate for $QCOM is sitting at 0.0467% right now. The old dog took a glance at the OI, which is at 32821 contracts—it's not a huge amount, but the bulls are really stepping up. In the last 24 hours, it climbed 10.5 points, currently stuck at 231.99. It's rising fast, but the funding rate hasn't gone crazy, indicating we haven't hit that crowded trade phase yet. But don’t celebrate too early; positive funding means the bulls are paying the bears. The more crowded the bulls get, the higher the chance of a squeeze at the top. This is a hard lesson the old dog has learned.
This move isn’t driven by earnings reports; it’s tradifi money looking for opportunities in semiconductors. I checked around, and other stocks in the same sector aren’t moving as smoothly as $QCOM —some are still just sitting there. $QCOM isn’t leading the pack because of any new fundamental story; it’s been stuck at this indecisive price point for too long. The bears are worn out, and as soon as the bulls hit the gas, it shoots up. But this kind of solo advance is most vulnerable to a pullback; without sector support, the sharper the rise, the harder the fall. In the last cycle, a similar situation occurred where a single coin surged with high funding, and three days later, a spike wiped out all the late buyers.
The old dog’s take is simple: if $QCOM breaks below the 24h opening price around 210, I’m out, not sticking around for a bull liquidation.
