You do not need to close a position as soon as it shows `Out of Range`. Your funds remain in the position. The current pool price has crossed one of your bounds, so the position will usually hold mostly one asset and stop earning LP fees from new trades near the current price.

First read what the position now holds. Then decide whether to wait for the price to return, close the position, or reopen with a new range. The AAPLon/USDC example below follows all three choices.

## Start with one complete example

Suppose you use 1,000 USDC to open an AAPLon/USDC position:

| Opening item | Hypothetical input |
|---|---|
| AAPLon price at opening | $200 |
| Price range | $180 to $220 |
| Fee tier | 0.3% |
| Funding method | one-sided funding with 1,000 USDC |

AAPLon later rises and the pool price reaches $223. The DeGate position page now shows `Out of Range`.

As the price moved from $200 toward $220, the pool gradually exchanged AAPLon for USDC. Above the upper bound, the position's liquidity has converted into USDC; unclaimed fees earned earlier may still include both assets. Suppose the details show:

| Current item | Hypothetical result |
|---|---|
| Current pool price | $223 |
| Range status | Out of Range, above the upper bound |
| Position liquidity | USDC |
| Unclaimed fees | Both assets already earned since opening and not yet claimed |

The position followed the range you selected and sold its AAPLon along the way. It was not liquidated. If the price returns to the $180 to $220 range, the position can participate in in-range trades again.

## Step 1: Check which boundary the price crossed

The upper and lower bounds lead to different asset outcomes:

| Price position | The position usually holds more of | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| Above the upper bound | USDC | Stock tokens were gradually sold as the price rose; at the upper bound, the liquidity has converted into USDC |
| Below the lower bound | Stock token | USDC gradually acquired stock tokens as the price fell; at the lower bound, the liquidity has converted into the stock token |

If AAPLon fell to $177, the earlier example would reverse and the position's liquidity would be AAPLon. Waiting at $177 means keeping Apple-linked price exposure. Waiting at $223 means holding USDC.

Your first question is therefore which asset you are willing to hold now. Restoring fee generation comes later.

## Step 2: Measure the distance from the boundary

$223 is about 1.4% above the $220 upper bound. If a short burst of pool trading produced that price, it may return to the range. If the corresponding stock has completed a larger move and established a new market price near $223, the original $180 to $220 range may no longer match your view.

Place three prices next to each other when reviewing the DeGate position:

- current pool price
- the crossed bound
- the current stock-token quote or outside reference price

For example, if the pool shows $223 while the live stock-token quote remains near $220, you may first watch whether the two move closer. If the live quote has also settled near $223, waiting amounts to expecting the price to return to the old range.

Short price differences occur more often during US-market closures, earnings, and dividend events. Check the quote session and recent pool trades before reopening around one price move.

## Step 3: Choose among three actions

### Option 1: Wait for the price to return

Suppose AAPLon briefly reached $223 and you still expect it to return to $180 to $220. Keeping the position requires no new on-chain transaction. Once the price returns to the range, the position can participate in eligible swaps again.

While you wait, the position remains mostly in USDC and earns no new LP fees from trades near the out-of-range price. Fees earned earlier remain recorded in the position.

Waiting fits when you accept the current asset and the original range still matches your price view.

### Option 2: Close and reopen with a new range

Suppose AAPLon establishes a new price near $223 and you still want to provide AAPLon/USDC liquidity. The old $180 to $220 range no longer covers the current price. The current version of Turbo Range does not edit the bounds of an existing position.

You would close the original position and open another one around the new price. A hypothetical range might be $205 to $245. This range illustrates the process and is not a recommendation.

Before reopening, check the AAPLon and USDC returned by closing. If the new range requires a different asset ratio, the one-sided or two-sided funding preview will show whether an auto-swap is needed. The system requests a fresh quote for the amount that needs conversion.

This path creates new on-chain operations and related costs. The new bounds also change which asset you will hold after the next rise or fall, so moving both bounds upward is not only a visual adjustment.

### Option 3: Close and finish the LP

If you no longer want the AAPLon/USDC position, close it. In the current version of DeGate Turbo Range, closing returns the AAPLon and USDC held by the position without automatically swapping the full result into USDC.

In the $223 example, you may receive mostly USDC. A position below its lower bound may return mostly AAPLon. Read the expected assets in the closing preview before deciding what to do next.

## Complete the decision with the example

Return to the position with a $223 pool price. Suppose:

- the upper bound is $220
- the position's liquidity is now USDC
- the current stock-token quote is also near $223
- the old $180 to $220 range no longer matches your view
- you remain willing to acquire more AAPLon if the price falls

These conditions point toward closing and reopening. You can compare new ranges that include $223, then review their boundary assets and Historical APR Estimates.

Change one fact. The live quote has returned near $220 while the pool briefly remains at $223, and you are comfortable holding USDC. Waiting to see whether the pool returns to the range may fit the original plan better than paying for two immediate on-chain operations.

The decision fits into four steps:

1. Identify the asset now held by the position.
2. Compare the pool price, crossed bound, and live quote.
3. Decide whether the old range still matches your price view.
4. Compare the costs and asset outcomes of waiting, closing, and reopening.

## Review and act in DeGate

1. Open the Turbo Range position details.
2. Check whether the price sits above the upper bound or below the lower bound.
3. Read the current AAPLon, USDC, and unclaimed fees.
4. Compare the pool price, range boundary, and available stock-token quote.
5. If you wait, record the price and review time. No immediate trade is required to restore the status.
6. If you reopen, first read the assets in the Close Position preview, then compare several new ranges using the same amount.
7. Check the fee tier, bounds, auto-swap, both assets, and network cost in the new-position preview.

## FAQ

### Is an out-of-range position liquidated?

No. A concentrated liquidity position usually moves mostly into one asset and stops participating in new trades near the current price. You still own the position and can view or close it.

### Do previously earned fees disappear out of range?

No. Fees already earned remain recorded in the position. Going out of range changes the opportunity to earn new fees; it does not erase earlier fees.

### Do I need to reactivate the position when the price returns?

Usually no. When the pool price reenters the original bounds, the position resumes participating in eligible trades.

### Can I edit the original range directly?

The current version of Turbo Range does not edit an existing position's range. Close the original position and open another one with new bounds.

### Does an unavailable Ondo RFQ block closing?

Closing an existing position does not require a conversion for the exit itself, so it does not need a new RFQ quote. A later swap or an auto-swap for the new range will depend on the quote available at that time.
