$AMD 24 hours have pulled nearly 5 points, pushing the price close to 537.6, with trading volume nearing 40 million. The funding rate is currently reported at 0.00041, which isn't extreme, but the longer the positive rate persists, the more the cost for long positions will gradually climb. Open Interest (OI) is currently stuck at the 22771 level.
I tend to view this structure as existing capital chasing higher prices rather than a large influx of new money from outside the market. As the price moves up, the continuously positive funding rate means that longs have to pay the shorts a fee every 8 hours. The lack of significant increase in OI indicates that the primary activity is internal capital shifting hands, and new demand isn't solid. I recall a similar scenario in Q4 last year, where there were three consecutive days of positive funding rates accompanied by increased volume, only for a bunch of longs to take profits on the fourth morning, causing the price to retrace.
Next, I see two scenarios. If AMD retraces to around 530 before the US market opens and holds, I’ll consider a small long position, placing my stop-loss below 525—if I’m wrong, I’ll just accept it. If it spikes directly to 540, I probably won’t chase it. I’d rather wait for the funding rate to get pushed to above 0.0008 due to market sentiment before looking for a chance to short. Chasing longs at this position doesn’t present a favorable risk-reward ratio; it feels more like lifting the boat for those who bought in at lower levels.
