$AKE Just Gave Us A Warning... But Most Traders Might Miss It 🔥

Open interest has fallen from around $19.8M to $17.2M as $AKE pulls back. Meanwhile, around 55% of accounts are positioned short, and the overall long/short ratio is near 0.81. Funding has also cooled close to neutral. This tells us traders are reducing exposure, but we don't yet have strong evidence of aggressive fresh short building. Don't underestimate a possible short squeeze.

Now look at the selling pressure. Futures CVD is negative on both 1H and 15M, orderbook delta remains negative, and recent 15M taker sells (298.8M) are exceeding buys (258.6M). Short-term sellers have the advantage.

But here's what makes this setup interesting: 24H futures flow is still positive by around $4.86M, while spot flow is positive by approximately $783K. The broader picture hasn't completely turned bearish, even though recent 15M and 1H flows have weakened. I want to see that selling pressure continue before committing to a short.

The liquidation map shows potential upside liquidity around $0.00590–$0.00610 and $0.00620–$0.00640. Downside zones sit around $0.00505–$0.00525, $0.00480–$0.00500 and $0.00360–$0.00385.

My $AKE Short Configuration

Current Entry: $0.0054-$0.0056
Recommended Entry: $0.00580–$0.00605 after rejection
Maximum Bounce Zone: $0.00620–$0.00640 if rejected

TP1: $0.00480
TP2: $0.00425
TP3: $0.00355
SL: $0.00615-$0.00670 (maximum bounce).

Confirmation: 15M close below the breakdown zone followed by a failed retest gives an earlier signal. If you want safer confirmation, wait for a 30M candle close below the level and a failed retest. Also check that futures CVD and selling pressure continue in the bearish direction.

👉 My short-term bias is bearish, guys, but I don't want anyone chasing this move. If AKE reclaims $0.00610 with strong buying, the short idea needs to be reconsidered. Let the market confirm first. A good setup is not just about catching a drop; it's about getting the right entry with a worthwhile RR.
