The surge comes as the global crypto market cap surpasses the $2 trillion mark with the leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>), <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-price-sets-valentines-day-winning-record-can-it-reach-55k/">getting close</a> to $52,000.&nbsp;

According to data provided by Santiment, Stacks’ total open interest (OI) rose from $55 million on Feb. 4 to $118 million at the time of writing. Notably, the asset’s total OI recorded an $18 million increase in the past 24 hours alone.&nbsp; 
As the price surge comes for STX, traders are betting for further bullish momentum. Per Santiment, the total funding rate aggregated by STX on all exchanges is currently standing at 0.02%. 
The indicator shows that long-position holders are slightly dominating the short traders until further price movements.&nbsp; 
On the other hand, the <a href="https://crypto.news/stacks-injective-internet-protocol-emerge-as-crypto-top-gainers/">STX</a> Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently hovering close to the 90 mark, according to Santiment. The indicator suggests that the token is witnessing high volatility and might be manipulated by big Stacks whales.&nbsp; 
For STX to stay in the bullish zone, the asset’s RSI would need to stay below the 60 mark.
