A single 4-hour K-line touched 0.2207 on the upside and dipped to 0.1529 on the downside on the BTR; the amplitude was over 30%. It finally pulled back to 0.166—yet the daily chart is still red, and over the past 24 hours it’s still up 0.8%. But this upper wick is the “signature” that this 10x cycle is topping.
The root cause of the sell-off is leverage. Open interest fell 8.5% over 7 hours and 9.7% in a day; the OI has directly entered the bear_capitulation quadrant: it’s not new money coming in—it’s leveraged longs cutting losses. Fees cooled from 0.073% down to 0.038%. There are still eight positive windows, but the enthusiasm of the longs has clearly “burned out”—the rebound is happening with shrinking volume.
Don’t be scared off by whale long positions. In terms of position size, longs are 55%, but in terms of account exposure, only whale accounts make up 27% standing on the long side—long positions are highly concentrated. Active sell orders account for 51% and are压着 the buy side. Futures are down 5.1% over 24h, clearly weaker than spot’s +0.8%. The contract is already backing off first. This bounce is more like a dead cat bounce, not a reversal.
View: short. 0.17–0.18 (below the 15-min MA20) is the short entry zone. First target: the 1d low at 0.148. When would it reverse: when OI starts growing again with increasing volume, fees return to above 0.07%, and price reclaims 0.18—when all three line up, it signals the liquidation/“stampede” is over and shorts can exit. Otherwise, you’ll just watch the parabola unwind layer by layer, shedding cargo one by one.
