NOW drops 6.17% over the past 24 hours; current price is 102.74, trading volume is 2.17 million, and open interest is 4493. In this setup, what I really care about is not the rate of decline, but the funding rate pinned at 0.
As the price moves downward, the funding rate stays at zero. That means the shorts don’t want to add positions just because price fell in order to collect funding, and the longs also aren’t rushing to snipe the bottom and hold positions. The entire order book feels like a cold, indifferent handling. Nobody is in a hurry to chase shorts, and nobody thinks the drop has gone far enough. This kind of lukewarm OI structure is often harder to judge than a one-direction panic sell-off.
With open interest at 4493 not moving while the price keeps falling, the essence is a battle over existing positions. The longs haven’t been fully wiped out, and the shorts haven’t been filled either—both sides are exhausting their resources, waiting for the other side to reveal its hand first. Trading volume of 2.17 million versus OI doesn’t suggest a high turnover rate, implying liquidity is contracting. This doesn’t look like a move produced by large-scale liquidation dumping; it’s more like a slow, grinding decline.
The microstructure signals point toward a downward drift with sideways fluctuations. In terms of strategy, I only watch two boundaries: if price effectively breaks below the integer level of 100, and open interest also starts falling with it, I’ll ride the short for a while to look for new lows. If there’s a rebound with volume and price reclaims above 107, then I’ll look for longs instead. Until these two boundaries are broken, I won’t move my position.

Technically, where is NOW’s key support?
