22.8 is a new high. That long bullish candle pushing it up is backed by big players who are currently reducing their longs. In the four-hour K line of the six candles, four are bearish closes—yet all the upward gains rely entirely on that single hard pull from 20.58 to 22.75. The price is now back down to 22.42, unable to reach the high anymore.
What’s most striking is the positioning. Within these seven hours, the whale accounts’ long percentage dropped by 14.94%, and under the position-size metric, the long percentage fell by 6.22% as well—meaning the higher the price goes, the more the big money that can read the order flow is trimming out. This is not the way to accumulate.
The futures side looks weak too: the aggressive buy order volume is only 40.2%, with sell orders pressing down on buys. The number of open positions (contracts) shrank by 2.53%. And the so-called OI value +5.23% is all imaginary, created purely by price rising. Eight fee-rate samplings show not a single one turning positive—so longs are simply not taking on leverage to relay.
So my stance: short. Stay close to the 22.8 new high; place the stop-loss above it. The first target is to look for a pullback toward the 20-line area near 21.5. If the whale long percentage turns around and rises again, if aggressive buys flip above 50%, and if contract counts start lifting again—then it means the new longs truly entered. In that case, I’ll admit the mistake and exit this trade. #koru $KORU
