DRAM is now around 57.1, and it also pushed up to near the 24-hour high of 57.8. The fix is still in place, but the fuel behind this upward move has changed—it's no longer spot buying; instead, it's futures leverage boosting.
First, let’s talk about the futures. Open interest jumped 16% in a day, which suggests a large amount of new positions entered over the past two days. But the price? It’s still chopping around the 57 area and hasn’t broken out. With leverage ramping up so quickly while price doesn’t follow, this combination usually makes me slow down.
Now look at the aggressive order flow. On the futures side, aggressive selling accounts for 53%, while buy orders are only 47%. When trying to push higher, someone has been continuously smashing it down. The big players are also subtly shifting: overall they’re still net long, but over the past 7 hours the long positions’ share dropped by nearly 6 percentage points—basically they’re quietly reducing.
On the spot side, it’s even more direct: the big-order net inflow data shows no single positive value.
Spot order book depth on the buy side is a bit thicker, and the bid-ask spread is smaller, which indicates there’s some support below—so it probably won’t flip immediately. But the money pushing upward right now is mainly coming from leverage and positioning games, not real spot inflows.
In plain terms: the direction is still upward, but the push at the highs is being propped up by futures. Aggressive orders are selling, big players are trimming, and spot isn’t absorbing. Chasing longs at this level isn’t great in terms of value.
The key is the 57.8 high. If it breaks above that level on increased volume, it will effectively reprice—then it’s something you can go for. If it can’t get through and then falls back, with open interest still this high, the pullback volatility will be amplified. Until then, wait for a pullback that feels comfortable to chase on a proportional basis.
