$MERL 30 Minutes’ volume and momentum amplify by 3.0x, with a net inflow of 115,600 USDT

Current price: 0.02269. It’s only 0.6% away from the 4-hour high. Whether it can hold the breakout level determines if this move is an actual launch or a bull trap.

🧠 Qualitative read of the major players’ behavior
The current order book shows a typical “shrinking position size then pushing up” pattern. Positions have slightly decreased while large-holder holdings are highly concentrated (longs account for 73.6%), suggesting that major funds are using the tail end of consolidation to accumulate shares. Although the 30-minute timeframe shows volume and momentum amplifying and active selling is dominant, the price is still up more than 5% intraday, implying that intraday selling pressure is being effectively absorbed by hidden buy orders.

📐 Structure and key levels
On the 4-hour timeframe, price has been moving within the tight range of 0.02137 to 0.02282. The current price has already reached the 91% upper percentile of that range and is near the edge of the earlier dense trading pressure zone. If price breaks above 0.02282 resistance, upside space may open up; if it spikes and then pulls back, then support at the lower end of the range (0.02137) will need attention.

🎯 Scenario analysis
If subsequent volume breaks out above 0.02282 and is accompanied by an increase in open positions, it can be viewed as a bullish “right-side breakout chase” signal, and you may follow the trend for short-term upside. If price stalls near the current level and active selling intensifies, it may revert to range-bound consolidation, so be alert to the risk of long liquidation after a fake breakout.

⚠️ Risk-control discipline
For futures trading, strictly enforce point-based defense. It’s recommended to set the invalidation price for long positions below 0.02130. If the hourly close falls below this level, it indicates that support at the lower end of the range has failed; then exit immediately with a stop-loss to avoid a second dip in an oversold extension.
