$QNTX 's price is pretty cold, but the contract is anything but.
QNTXUSDT dropped 38.02% in 24 hours, hitting a price of 60.29.
Yet the funding rate is still +0.0238%, indicating that the bulls are still paying to stay in the game.
This isn't a mass exit after a drop, but rather it feels like there are still folks piling into leveraged positions even as prices fall.
The key factor here is OI.
QNTX's open interest increased by 62.7% in 24 hours, currently about $3.557 million.
A sharp price drop → OI actually increases, indicating that new positions aren't being liquidated, but rather are continuing to flow in during the downtrend.
This kind of structure is more afraid of consensus among buyers than a lack of buyers.
The long-to-short ratio is also pointing in the same direction.
Bull accounts make up 73.0%, with a long-to-short ratio of 2.67, showing that retail is clearly stacked on the bullish side.
The Taker is at 0.96, and active trades aren't showing strong buying pressure against selling.
So, the core of this movement isn't just that it's 'dipped a lot,' but rather that 'even after a 38% drop, bullish positions are still getting heavier.'
The futures_squeeze_scanner is signaling a long squeeze with a score of 10.
With the funding rate showing bulls paying up, OI rapidly increasing, and retail crowded on the long side, these three factors combined indicate that the pressure point is on the leveraged long side.
The trading implications are straightforward.
For $QNTX , the current volatility isn't just about the spot price, but whether these new OI positions will be forced to unwind.
As long as positions remain intact, every sharp rally and dip will first hit the crowded crowd in the contracts.
