$KORU is standing near the high of this round; all moving averages are below your feet. But the four-hour momentum has long since collapsed into a straight line—this is the moment of a strong crossbow running out of power: it’s empty. In the six four-hour candles, long and short positions are more or less balanced; net movement is reduced to a thread. While the price keeps rising, open interest thins out more and more—there’s no new money coming in for the rally; it’s all about lifting the market from existing positions. Large accounts cut their long positions by more than half over seven hours; big money exits first. With no takers to absorb bids above, the price can only turn back to seek the moving-average “center of gravity.”
