May have added to the moveUnlikely
From Oct 26, 13:00 UTC to Oct 27, 13:00 UTC, open interest in coin units rose 7.37%. Funding was positive at 0.005% per four-hour period, consistent with longs paying shorts. This could have amplified a rise if long positions added buying pressure, but does not show that happened.
What is not shown: Open interest does not reveal position direction or net inflows; funding was not shown trending, and buyer-initiated derivatives volume share fell to 46.34% from 54.43% (S8). No liquidation timing is provided.
What, if anything, triggered the rise, and did derivatives positioning amplify it? Timing and direction of position changes and liquidations are unknown.
