đŸ”„ $WLFI /USDT: Analysis of liquidity and whale behavior (Binance Futures)

After a quick breakout and removal of upper liquidity, the price is turning into a correction. Let's analyze step by step what is happening in the market and what to expect next:

📊 Key metrics and factors
âžĄïž Liquidity and Smart Money: The Liquidation Heatmap clearly shows that the 0.0631 - 0.0649 zone is completely cleared of shorts. Currently, the main liquidity pools are forming below - in the ranges of 0.0585–0.0576 and 0.0558–0.0540.
âžĄïž Open Interest (OI) and CVD: On the pullback from ⁠0.06329⁠ we observe a drop in OI (from 2.32B to ~2.22B) and a negative delta of the beaker (-153.3K). This indicates a cascading closure/liquidation of longs held at the very top.
âžĄïž Crowd vs Large Cap:
60% of retail accounts are looking Long (Ratio 1.51).
However, Short is dominant in terms of position volume (Ratio 0.93). The crowd is buying while larger players are holding short volumes.
âžĄïž Whale Positions: Short whales control 19.14M USDT (with an average of ⁠0.0916⁠) and are in deep plus. However, there has been a net whale buy-out of +3.56M USDT in the last 24h.

🚩 Trading Scenarios
1. Local (Priority): Withdrawal of unselected liquidity below current levels. We expect a breakout to the ⁠0.0585 – 0.0576⁠ zone (or a deep test of ⁠0.0558⁠ to EMA30), where retail longs will remove their stops.
2. Bullish continuation: After removing stops and stabilizing OI above ⁠0.0576⁠, we consider a reversal with the aim of retesting the High ⁠0.0633+⁠.

⚠ Conclusion: Entering a long from the current (⁠0.0603⁠) is risky due to the accumulation of stops directly below the price. It is more logical to wait for the buyer's reaction after liquidity fences in the 0.0585–0.0558 zone.
