In the past 24 hours, $ALAB has dropped over 9%, with the price hovering around $400, yet the funding rate remains above 0.1%. This is a classic case of bulls holding the line. As the price dips, bulls keep paying the bears, and open interest is piling up below the cost line. This crowded long position, especially in a geopolitically charged environment, acts as liquidity fuel.
The first reaction of the market to military narratives typically suppresses risk appetite, pushing energy and safe-haven assets first, then hitting high beta plays. Concepts like $ALAB , which intersect tech and defense, can easily get mistakenly liquidated during an overall deleveraging process. Funds won’t bother differentiating the long-term logic during such times; they'll simply cut narrative-driven positions to regain liquidity. The fact that $ALAB bulls haven't surrendered on the funding rate indicates a stubborn belief in this geopolitical premium. In my view, this refusal to give up on open interest, once the price continues to grind below that key level, could easily turn into a cascading liquidation chain.
My current judgment is straightforward: if the $400 psychological level is repeatedly tested without substantial volume to reclaim it, I will actively reduce my position during any rebounds, not betting on it to break out of an independent geopolitical narrative.
