$SAMSUNG What was hanging under the daily high was not a flag, but a gate stacked from sell orders — and I smashed right into that opening. In twenty-four hours it had risen by more than half a percent, and the price was only half a step away from the high, yet the sell pressure in the order book outweighed buy orders by more than ten percent: the higher it pushed, the thinner the support underneath became. On the derivatives side, active sell orders were more powerful than buy orders, the taker long-short ratio could not break above one, and funding rates were pinned near zero, so those chasing longs didn’t even have anyone to lift the price for them.
