$QNTX this isn't just a regular dip; the contract structure has gone bad.
futures_squeeze_scanner caught $QNTXUSDT, down 37.83% in the last 24 hours, but OI actually increased by 64.5% during the same period.
These types of combos in the old order book look the ugliest.
Prices are crashing down, yet positions are being squeezed in, indicating it's not simply a lack of buyers; rather, some are leveraging up even more as prices fall.
What's more critical is that the funding rate is still at +0.0543%.
This means the bulls are still paying to maintain their positions.
The drop has already been established, but the funding rate hasn't cooled off, which typically indicates the bull camp hasn't thrown in the towel yet, or hasn't been completely cleaned out.
Retail accounts have a long position ratio of 72.0%, and the long/short account ratio is 2.53.
This is what we call crowded.
Taker 1.09 indicates that active buying hasn't completely vanished; there are still folks trying to catch the dip.
However, if prices continue to slide and this active buying can't hold, it could turn into fuel for the next round of stop-losses and liquidations.
Right now, the story of $QNTX is pretty straightforward.
24-hour trading volume is $62.43 million, with OI around $3.66 million; the market is active, but the rate of position increase is more eye-catching than price action.
Drop → bulls averaging down or new longs entering → funding rate stays positive → bull accounts get even more crowded → if prices drop again, the long squeeze pressure will amplify.
Next, just keep an eye on three things: whether OI starts to decline, whether the funding rate cools off from positive territory, and whether price can hold steady during volume surges.
If OI keeps rising, funding rate stays positive, and price remains weak, it shows this batch of bulls hasn't exited yet.
