Down 52% in a day. There’s not much to say.
First, let’s look at what happened. The 4-hour candle at 20:00 on October 6 peaked at 0.0823, with $133 million in volume. The midnight session that same day also saw $84 million. Go back one day, and total volume for October 5 was less than $60 million. Money suddenly poured in, pushing out a huge bullish candle from 0.06 to 0.082. And then came what we’re seeing now: five consecutive red candles wiping it all back, with the price falling from 0.072 to 0.03896.
This isn’t a pullback. It’s a rout.
Looking at the chart, after five consecutive red candles, the price has returned to around where the rally started. The low of the candle in the early hours of October 3 was 0.035; the latest low is 0.03864—essentially the same level. In other words, one bullish candle wiped out all the gains from the previous four days. The bulls have put up no resistance at all.
As for market sentiment, the funding rate is -0.0351%/8h. A negative funding rate means shorts are paying and longs are receiving. Does that look like the bulls have the upper hand? Don’t be fooled. In a sharp sell-off like this, negative funding is more likely because shorts are closing positions in large numbers to take profits after the crash—not because longs are piling in. If the bulls were genuinely confident, the funding rate should be positive.
The moves by large holders are clear. After the massive-volume candle at 20:00 on October 6, volume plunged over the next five candles. The latest 4-hour candle had just $9.9 million in volume, with a volume ratio of only 0.31. What does that mean? The big players are already out. Volume topped $100 million during the pump, but when the price crashed, the big players didn’t step in to catch it. Retail traders are scrambling over one another, while the whales left long ago.
The volume-price structure is the ugliest part. Volume rises on the way up and falls on the way down—that sounds like a healthy correction straight out of a textbook, right? But this situation is different. The rally candle saw a massive $133 million in volume, followed by five consecutive red candles on declining volume, none of which showed signs of finding support. No long lower wicks, no dojis—just bare red candles crashing lower. Declining volume here doesn’t mean sellers are holding back; it means buyers have dried up.
Looking at the candle details, the ranges of the latest two 4-hour candles are narrowing. The candle at 16:00 had a high-low range of 0.00544; the one at 20:00 had a range of 0.00356. Narrowing ranges combined with declining volume usually mean a significant move is approaching. But the direction is uncertain. If the 0.03864 low breaks, the next support is 0.035 from October 3. If it holds, we could see a technical bounce toward 0.045, around the lower end of the previous sideways trading range.
My outlook leans bearish. The reasoning is simple: a massive-volume candle marked the top, followed by five consecutive red candles with no sign of a bottom. The volume ratio has shrunk to 0.31, showing that market participants have neither the willingness nor the ability to defend the price. Conditions for a short-term bounce are building, but a bounce is not a reversal. Even if it reaches 0.045, that would just give anyone who hasn’t gotten out yet a chance to reduce their position.
Nini’s plan: Current price: 0.03896. I don’t recommend buying the dip here. If you insist on trading, wait for one of these two signals: First, a high-volume 4-hour candle with a long lower wick showing signs of a bottom. You could try a small position, with a stop-loss at 0.035. Second, if the price rebounds and holds above 0.045 on increased volume, consider going long, with a target of 0.055. Until either signal appears, it’s best to stay out and watch.
