Monero futures open interest has climbed above $300 million while the price has recovered above $600, a leverage-heavy setup that previously preceded January's crash. Rising open interest alongside price gains signals crowded positioning that can amplify volatility and trigger cascading liquidations if sentiment flips. Traders should watch funding rates and liquidation levels for signs of a squeeze in either direction.
