COW is now around 0.122u. After this surge and peak, I’m not in a hurry to buy.
In three days, it went from 0.0988 to 0.1649, up more than 60%. Momentum even shot straight to the top gainer. But on the day of the spike, the daily candle closed as a long upper-wick big bearish candle. The high-level selling was fierce. The price has already dropped back below the 15-minute 50 moving average. The 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily trends are all pointing downward.
The capital flow tells the same story. For the past few hours, net inflows from large spot orders are basically zero. In the last twelve consecutive 3-hour candlesticks, there hasn’t been a single positive one—money is flowing out. On the futures side, aggressive sell orders have been continuously pressing against buy orders. The basis has flipped to a backwardation (turning into a negative roll yield), and the funding rate also turned negative. Clearly, the futures market is not supporting the long side.
There’s also an uncomfortable positioning structure: the proportion of large-holder long positions has dropped by more than 10% over this half-day, while the leverage-based long ratio among retail investors has risen by about 90%. In plain terms, big players are slowly reducing exposure, while chasing-buyers are the ones getting picked up. The sentiment looks lively, but it’s all driven by top gainer momentum and leverage callouts. I didn’t see any new fundamental catalyst in the news.
So at this level, I won’t chase, and I’m not rushing to bottom-pick. A 20% drop doesn’t necessarily mean it’s at the bottom. The key is to watch when large orders start coming back and whether the price can hold and stand back up from a low level. Until then, I’ll wait.
