Down 37% in two days, then a single spike pulled it up to 2.38, only for it to return to square one over the next two days. I’ve seen this kind of price action many times—someone tried to save it, but couldn’t.

Market signals: It was still moving sideways above 3.0 on October 1, then halved straight to around 2.0 on October 2, before getting hammered further down to 1.65 on October 3. The bullish candle on October 5 came with 50% more volume and looked like a possible comeback, but 2.38 turned out to be the ceiling. Two bearish candles sent it straight back to 1.84. The current price is 1.8416, down 1.98% over 24 hours. The market signal is clear: the rebound is an opportunity to sell, not a trend reversal.

Market sentiment: The funding rate is negative at 0.0423%, meaning shorts are getting paid. This shows that the market is broadly bearish, with short sellers more willing to pay than long buyers. Shorts have made a killing on the drop from 3.34 to 1.65. That spike to 2.387 in the middle looks more like one last struggle from the bulls than confirmation of a bottom. There’s no sign of extreme panic in sentiment, but it’s not time for shorts to close out yet either.

Whale activity: The October 5 pump had a trading volume of 115 million, the largest single candle in the entire downtrend. The next two bearish candles had volumes of 56.5 million and 22 million, respectively—a clear decline in volume. The buyers behind the pump started selling around 2.15, and there was no one to catch the price afterward. The latest 4-hour candle had a trading volume of 10.9 million, with a volume ratio of just 0.43—whales are mostly gone, and retail traders are left playing among themselves.

Volume and price structure: Looking at the last 30 candles, the highs have fallen from 3.34 to 2.38 and then to 1.93, while the lows have dropped from 2.85 to 1.65 before recovering to 1.83. This is a classic descending channel, with each rebound topping out lower than the previous one. Volume is shrinking in tandem, from bullish candles in the 200-million range to the tens of millions now. There’s no volume-price divergence—selling pressure is simply in control.

Candlestick details: Among the last 10 candles, the four on October 4 all had very small bodies and short wicks—a classic low-volume drift downward. On October 5, a large bullish candle appeared with a sudden surge in volume. Its upper wick reached 2.387, but it closed at just 2.16; the wick was even longer than the body. This is a textbook case of a rally fading. The next two bearish candles had relatively small bodies, but erased nearly half of the big bullish candle. Support is at 1.6524, and resistance is at 2.387. If 1.65 breaks again, there’s not much meaningful support below.

Nini’s plan: Current price: 1.8416. Bearish bias. Consider shorting a rebound near 2.0, with a stop-loss above 2.16 and a target of 1.65. If 1.65 breaks, don’t chase the move; wait for a retest and confirmation before entering. I don’t recommend buying the dip now—the volume and the structure don’t support it. Let the bears finish the job first.
