Four days ago, it was hammered all the way from 1699 down to 1357, a drop of 20%. Now it’s at 1422, bouncing a little.
Honestly, this rebound isn’t impressive.
Market signals:
1390 down to 1357 was the lowest area in this round of sell-off. It has been tested twice without breaking. 1376 is a support level that has been repeatedly confirmed recently. But above, 1494 is the real resistance. Today it pushed through once, didn’t hold, and closed with a bullish candle that has a long upper wick. The upper wick is longer than the real body, which means the bulls tried, but the bears wouldn’t let them.
Market sentiment:
The funding rate is +0.0076%. The bulls are still paying, but the amount is small. Leveraged positions have essentially been shaken out during this sharp drop. The 24-hour trading volume is 2.29 billion, which counts as an expansion for a privacy coin—but on the 4-hour timeframe, the volume is shrinking. The latest 4-hour candlestick only did 28.2 million in volume, which is 0.07 times. What does that mean? It’s only 7% of normal. Nobody dares to make a move.
Whale activity:
On the 26th, the 4-hour candle that surged from 1569 to 1699 had trading volume of 740 million. The candle that dumped on the 27th had volume of 700 million. Early on the 29th, it continued dumping with volume of 720 million. These three massive-volume candles left the bulls badly hurt. After that, volume per 4-hour candle declined steadily—from 300 million down to 200 million and now to 28 million. Whales have finished distributing at the highs, and retail at the bottom doesn’t dare to buy. A classic vacuum period after a completed distribution/position-swap.
Volume-price structure:
When it fell, volume expanded; when it bounced, volume contracted. On the 26th, the high of 1699 brought volume of 740 million. On the 27th, it got smashed to 1581 with 700 million. On the 28th, it continued down to 1451 with 630 million. Then it rebounded to 1442 with 950 million—that’s the 12:00 candle today. It looks like a surge in volume, but it closed at 1442, still a short way below the 1494 high. Immediately afterward, volume shrank to 460 million and then to 28 million. The rebound didn’t get sustained follow-through.
Candlestick details:
The most recent five 4-hour candles are four bearish and one bullish. The bullish candle at 12:00 pulled from 1424 up to 1442—it looks good, but the next two bearish candles ate up most of the gains. Now it’s 1422, right around the opening price of that bullish candle. If 1400 can’t hold, the next support is 1376; if that breaks too, then we’re looking at 1357. Conversely, to confirm a reversal, you’d at least need to see volume surge and a close/hold above 1494.
Nini’s plan:
Current price is 1422. My view is neutral, slightly bearish.
Reason is simple: after a 20% drop, the rebound has no volume. Volume ratio is 0.07—this isn’t a signal of bargain-hunting capital entering. The privacy coin sector itself lacks fresh narrative catalysts. The rebound is more of a technical repair after overselling, not a trend reversal.
If going long: stop-loss at 1376, target 1494. The risk-reward ratio is acceptable, but the win rate isn’t high. Position size should be light. If going short: it’s more comfortable to wait and place short orders around 1494—but at this level it’s not suitable to chase a short. It has already fallen 20%; chasing shorts now is easy to get slapped by a rebound.
Mostly wait and observe. Wait for the volume to come back, then decide.
