This AAVE price action—while the shorts are still squatting below waiting for a pullback, the order book above has already stacked up quite a number of large buy orders. The spot big orders have been net inflows for the past few K-lines—clearly someone is quietly sweeping up. On the big players’ side, it’s even more outrageous: the long/short account ratio is nearly doubling, with the majority of positions heavily on the long side, and they’re still adding. This lineup looks like “smart money” building a position in batches—it’s not the kind of move retail traders could pile together. The derivatives open interest is being pushed upward along with the price. Under the four-symbol pattern, it’s defined as a strong bullish setup: the trendlines are being stepped on tightly, and the momentum is fully aligned. This chart is basically the longs pushing stones up the mountain, while the shorts stand at the bottom slope waiting to be crushed.
