$BTW A single 4-hour candlestick hammered out an 820M trading volume. The price was pushed directly from 0.602 down to 0.313—there wasn’t even a decent-looking rebound. Then another one came right after, plunging to 0.259 with 370M in volume. Two rounds of liquidation, clean and decisive. Long positions in the contract accounts likely got wiped out overnight. Now the price has bounced back to 0.482. Over the past 24 hours it’s up +20.97%. The chart looks lively, but behind it is a bloody liquidation record.
Market signals.
From 0.377, it surged all the way to 0.778 in under two days—doubling the gains. Then came two waves of sudden crashes, with drawdowns of nearly 67%. This kind of move isn’t something retail traders would do. It’s a classic pattern of controlled pump-and-dump: ramp it up, then unload in bulk. A chain of liquidations clears out leveraged longs. Now price is back at 0.482, right around the Fibonacci golden ratio area of the prior breakout leg. Bulls and bears are trading fiercely back and forth here, so the short-term direction is unclear. The funding rate is 0.0562%—positive but not large—which suggests both sides are still relatively restrained.
Market sentiment.
The funding rate is positive. After two rounds of liquidations, there are still people willing to open longs—either they’re stubborn or they’re trapped and unwilling to cut losses. The mark price at 0.4818 is almost identical to the current price, with no obvious premium, which means there isn’t extra bullish impulse on the futures side. Sentiment is recovering slowly, but it’s not healthy. Healthy sentiment after a brutal selloff would be low-volume consolidation, giving the market time to digest panic. What we have now looks more like an urgent rebound—more like a self-rescue move than a reversal signal. 24-hour trading value is $235M. For a small-cap altcoin, that’s not small, but compared with the earlier liquidation volume of $400M–$800M, it’s already much weaker.
Whale moves.
It’s clear just by the volume. During the plunge, the combined volume of two candlesticks is nearly $1.2B. Who’s selling? Who’s buying? Massive volume usually reflects a mix of the main players unloading and retail traders cutting out through stops. Retail wouldn’t be catching that much supply during the down move. In the rebound phase, the volume keeps decreasing: 158M, 77M, 51M, and now this candle has only 32M. The buy side is getting thinner. Whales wouldn’t be buying into a shrinking-volume rebound like this. They’re waiting for a second pullback to confirm. The real main force has either already left, or is placing orders at lower levels.
Volume-price structure.
The rebound from 0.259 to 0.482 shows very obvious volume-price divergence. As price rises, trading volume falls. 0.529 is the prior high resistance zone; the previous two attempts couldn’t hold above it. Support is around 0.45; below that is 0.41. If 0.45 can’t be defended, a pullback into the 0.38–0.41 range is highly likely. Volume-price divergence is not a good sign—it suggests the capital driving the rebound is withdrawing, and what’s left is just inertia.
Candlestick details.
The recent 4-hour candlestick patterns are worth paying attention to. The candle at 08-21 04:00 closed a bullish candle with a long upper wick. The high nearly reached 0.529, but it closed at 0.482. The upper wick is nearly 8%, indicating heavy sell pressure above 0.50—someone is distributing. The next two candles are small-body candles, with the bodies getting progressively shorter and volatility narrowing. The candle at 08-21 12:00 turned bearish directly, dropping to 0.4505. The current candle has pulled back to around 0.48 again, but volume is only 32M. The shrinking-wave structure suggests a decision is near: either break upward through 0.529 to open room, or break below 0.45 and return to the ranging zone.
Nini’s plan.
Slightly neutral, bearish on the short term. Current price is 0.482. Don’t go long. If it pulls back into 0.41–0.38 and finds stabilization with volume, consider trying a low-sized long position, with a stop-loss at 0.35. If it breaks through 0.529 and holds, it won’t be too late to follow in. It’s better to make money waiting at both ends than to be stuck trying to fiddle in the middle.
