What time is it already, and you’re still shouting that? Over here on the spot side, the money has been steadily pulling out—net outflows of 650 million over the past three hours. All twelve K-bars are negative; not a single positive one shows up. The money hasn’t come in, yet positions are still being added upward. This isn’t “catching the dip”—what is it, then? My brain can’t make sense of it—who’s still stubbornly holding long orders? Even though open interest looks like it’s rising, passive sell pressure overwhelms the buy side. That tiny bit of positive funding rate is basically negligible. The longs don’t even have the confidence to pay the fee. I’m not buying the “bullish” act for now—what’s most honest about this chart is just two words: withdraw. You can’t push up from above, and you can’t catch bids from below. Once supplies run out, no matter how hard your positioning is, it turns into a mess of scattered wreckage on the floor.
