$RLC

Both spike attempts got rejected at 1.087.

I spotted this pattern on the chart two days ago: the 10-06 08 candle surged to 1.078 on $244.3M in volume, but couldn’t hold. The 10-08 16 candle made another run at 1.087 on $182.3M in volume—and still couldn’t hold. The double top is drawn, right overhead.

Market signals. Over the last 30 4h candles, price climbed from a low of 0.3589 to 0.8613: up 140% in 5 days. That wasn’t a climb; it was a surge. Then it got stuck at 1.087. Support over the last 10 candles is 0.6463, with resistance at 1.087. First, watch the dense closing-price zone around 0.86–0.88; if that breaks, 0.83 is next.

Market sentiment. +24.75% over 24h, with a funding rate of -0.0147%/8h. Price is rising vertically, but the funding rate is negative: shorts are paying. That’s what it looks like when the market shorts into a vertical move—everyone is waiting for the top, and nobody wants to chase longs. Negative funding is fuel for the rally, but also a warning: the more shorts there are, the harder the squeeze; and the harder the squeeze, the sharper the reversal can be afterward. The sentiment isn’t greed; it’s “I think this has topped, but I’m afraid I’m wrong.”

Whale activity. Volume tells the story. From 10-05 12 to 10-06 04, volume rose across four candles from $152.3M to a high of $284.5M—that was the major players’ entry phase. The second wave on 10-08 16 came in at $182.3M, clearly lower than the first. The first push came with rising volume, while the second came with falling volume. That’s a distribution pattern, not a continuation pattern. The latest two candles had volumes of $35.1M and $29.0M, with a volume ratio of 0.30. The major players have already stopped pushing.

Volume-price structure. The rally came with rising volume, and the pullback came with falling volume. The pullback was orderly: from 1.087 to 0.6528, a 40% retracement over two days, followed by a recovery to 0.86. This wasn’t panic selling; it was a shakeout. The problem is that the current recovery is happening on low volume. A post-shakeout rally should come with volume, but it hasn’t. A volume ratio of 0.30 means current momentum is only 30% of the average over the previous 20 candles.

Candlestick details. The latest candle, 10-09 00, closed down: open at 0.882, close at 0.8616, low at 0.8302. Price was pushed down to 0.83, where it found support. There is buying support at 0.83–0.85, which is a positive sign. The last three closes—0.876, 0.882, and 0.8616—have formed a small top. If the next candle breaks below 0.83, one down candle becomes two in a row; a close above 0.9135 invalidates the small top and reopens the path to 1.087.

RLC is a project in the AI data network sector. Formerly known as Rarible, it now mainly focuses on AI data infrastructure. This sector is one of the market’s current leading themes, and its rallies tend to have more upside than older coins. But being in a hot sector doesn’t exempt it from technical breakdowns.

My outlook: neutral to bearish.

Nini’s plan: Current price 0.8613.
- Long setup: Hold around 0.85–0.86; exit on a break below 0.83; target 1.087, and take half off there.
- Short setup: Only valid on a break below 0.83; targets 0.7257 and 0.6528.
- If 0.83 holds and a bullish candle forms with the volume ratio back above 1, I’ll turn bullish.
