Man, $PAXG has dropped back near 4329 again. After it fell from that high around 4440, it never really came back up. Conclusion first: I’m not chasing at this level—mostly watching and waiting.
In my last post I said that spot large orders were continuously net-inflowing, and the technical picture was supportive for the bulls. Turns out only a few days later it flipped. Over the past 3 hours, spot large orders couldn’t squeeze out even a single net inflow across 12 candlesticks—5 candles were all big zeroes. The small amount of short-term (15-minute) “buyback” just couldn’t even fill the gap.
Translation of the gist: big money is withdrawing; the remaining retail folks are the ones left to catch.
The futures side isn’t optimistic either. Open interest dropped 3.5% in a day, landing on the short side. The big players’ long share shrank by more than 4 points over 7 hours—still net-long, but clearly de-risking and reducing positions. Momentum? It literally went “exhausting”—that push up to the 4440 move has already run out of steam.
But let me put it upfront: this coin, in essence, is just a shadow of the gold price. In the last 7 days it’s still up almost 2%. And with 100% circulation, there isn’t any unlocked-supply pressure. The daily chart structure hasn’t broken.
The issue isn’t direction—it’s timing. In the short term, it’s a tide-out for high-level capital, not a collapse in the underlying logic.
So I’m not in a hurry to chase here. I’ll wait for capital to give an answer. Watch the low at 4314—if it breaks, then look toward the 4223 area. Only when large orders turn positive again and the outflow starts to converge, then consider getting back in. As my “cautious like a mouse” spot-handed self, I’d rather make a bit less than stand guard at the high level.
