$XAU Whales and retail are on opposite sides of gold on Binance futures.

- 87% of whale money is short, $224.12M
- Those shorts are up $10.23M, average entry 4,015.1
- 74% of the crowd is long

This flip happened in one week. Seven days ago whales had 39% on the long side. Now 13%. The crowd went the other way, from 70% to 74% long.

Whale shorts only turn negative if gold climbs 4.6%. Until then the pressure sits on the long side.
