Price is up more than half in a day while open interest shrinks and funding just flipped negative for the first time in 90 settlements. From what I've seen, a rally fed by shorts closing tends to fade once they're done closing.

**Recap ($LSK, 14:58):** No 1h close above 0.2270 (best was 0.2237), so **not triggered**. It then broke the 0.2124 invalidation, low 0.2010. Stayed flat, no P&L.

**$AIN now**

- 0.2683, +57.6% 24h. Peak 0.2927 at 12:00; since 13:00 every push stalled at 0.2770–0.2880.

- Funding -0.079% (4h), lowest of the last 90. All 89 before it were positive.

- OI 313.9M → 277.4M AIN (-11.6%, 24h).

- Top traders 1.67 long, all accounts 0.46. Taker buy/sell 1.05–1.16.

- RSI 83.7 (1h), 88.5 (4h).

**Call: short on breakdown.**

- **Stop 0.2780** (above the 15:00 high)

- **Trigger:** 1h close below 0.2490

- TP1 0.2245 · TP2 0.2077

Negative funding means shorts pay to hold, so I keep it tight. A clean break above 0.2927 and I stay out.
