The setup is leaning toward a slow grind lower. These coins are still rising in price, but their structure is already weakening—don't focus only on the green percentage gains.
The concern isn't that prices aren't rising; it's that support could thin as they climb, increasing the risk of chasing highs.
Next, watch whether a pullback takes shape and whether weakening support is confirmed.
WAL is up 50.2%, with open interest up 283.5% over 24 hours, but down 14.3% over the past hour. Positions are starting to unwind.
After a sharp rise, positions flooded in quickly and then contracted in the short term—the contrast most clearly shows the structure weakening.
The counterpoint is that the funding rate is -0.2273%, with shorts paying for seven consecutive periods, so a short squeeze could still disrupt the move.
WCT is up 7.09%, with open interest up 22.4% over 24 hours but down 1.5% over the past hour. The long-short account ratio has reached 1.72, and positions are starting to unwind.
Longs account for 63%. After growing, positions have started to decline; next, watch whether active buying reverses.
The counterpoint is that the taker buy/sell ratio remains at 1.15, and trend indicators are still pointing upward, so the trend has not fully weakened.
NIL is up 18.0%. Its relative strength index has reached 76.5, entering overbought territory. Open interest rose 17.9% over 24 hours, then fell 1.4% over the past hour, as positions started to unwind.
Overheated sentiment at elevated levels is coinciding with short-term position contraction. A strong price does not mean support is free of pressure.
The counterpoint is that the taker buy/sell ratio remains at 1.07, and trend indicators continue to point upward.
If support continues to thin, the pullback scenario is playing out; if volume returns and prices hold steady, this assessment will need to be revisited.
