$USAR 24 hours dropped nearly 7%, price pressed around 20.96, with trading volume over four million. Looking at the drop alone, it's not exactly mild. However, the feedback from the futures side is inconsistent. The funding rate is zero, and open interest is just over forty thousand, showing no signs of panic selling.
The discussions on X regarding this asset are quite polarized. One camp attributes the decline to the sentiment spillover from traditional markets, believing that the on-chain US stock futures are still in the early stage of finding a base, and this kind of volatility isn't unusual. The other camp focuses on open interest, arguing that the over forty thousand positions haven't budged, indicating that the bulls haven't capitulated en masse, and the zero funding rate reflects a mutual probing between bulls and bears, with neither side willing to pay first.
From the consensus state of KOLs, thereโs currently a lack of a definitive directional judgement. Most discussions linger on describing the stalemate rather than providing directional bets. Moreover, the zero funding rate environment has an invisible effect on trading: if you only chase shorts when you see prices dropping, itโs tough to gain extra compensation through the funding rate, and you might end up exhausting your resources.
I tend to think that the focus should be on when the rate breaks the zero axis. If the funding rate starts stabilizing and turns negative, that would mean a true consolidation of bearish consensus at the pricing level. Before it turns negative, I prefer to stay on the sidelines.
