$STRK This rally has me feeling a little numb. It went from 0.069 to 0.12 in a day, up more than 50%, and is now hovering around 0.11.
I have a position, and honestly, the short-term action doesn't look great. Volume over the last 6 hours was only 0.7 times what it was in the previous 6 hours, and only 3 of the last 6 candles were green. The momentum behind that push higher has clearly faded. But the structure is still fine: the price is holding above MA7, while MA25 is only at 0.0873. In other words, this move has climbed out of a deep hole, and the bottom structure has already turned around.
The sentiment is even more exciting. Open interest is at $53 million, up nearly 15% in an hour, while the funding rate is still just 0.0007%—shorts aren't being squeezed into a corner yet. The whale long/short account ratio is 0.67, so large accounts are leaning bearish, while retail traders are chasing the move. I love this kind of divergence: the less people believe in it, the more likely it is to push higher again.
I couldn't find any clear news anywhere; this is purely driven by capital flows. My thinking is simple: if it were me, I'd go long right around the current price of 0.11, with a first target above 0.128. If it breaks below 0.10, I'd admit defeat. With a token like this, the mechanics aren't the key—consensus is.
One thing I can't quite figure out: before this rally, the whales were still adding to their short positions. Could someone just be going long with one of their own alt accounts?
