MU is currently around 963. After the peak near 990 was topped without any pullback, the price has been grinding just below the 15-minute moving average for two days—so even rebounds haven’t managed to catch their breath.

First, the conclusion—at this spot I won’t chase longs, and I won’t short either. It’s just a wait-for-direction kind of setup.

Money is the most honest. In the futures, open interest shrank by nearly 4% in a day, and over the next 7 hours it kept draining outward. The price didn’t collapse much, but the positioning ran away in the first place—if funds don’t show commitment, shouting with words doesn’t help. With the fee rate near zero, longs haven’t crowded to the point of forced liquidation, and shorts haven’t ignited either. Both sides are watching.

But it’s not without confidence. Whale accounts still hold over 60% of the short-side share. Positioning has quietly added another 3%. In the spot order book, buy orders are also thicker than sell orders—meaning big money hasn’t left; it just doesn’t want to lift the sedan right now.

In plain terms, this 950 to 990 range is a box where price is stuck. To the upside it lacks momentum, and to the downside there’s support. Whoever makes the first move decides. In this kind of location, chasing longs is generally poor value, and there’s no need to short either—once it breaks out of the box, the direction will become obvious. For long-term holders who can sit tight, keep watching; for short-term positions, don’t fiddle with it—observe first and wait for the funds to make their choice.
