Price is up double digits and shorts are still paying to stay in. From what I've seen, that setup either squeezes through the high or bleeds out under it.

**Recap ($AIN, 06:50):** The short needed a 1h close below $0.2276. It wicked to $0.2253 but every close held above, and it now trades $0.2338. **Not triggered**, no P&L.

**$STX now**

- $0.3248, +13.1% 24h. $0.3401 high rejected twice (02:00, 03:00); $0.3205 floor has held since.

- Funding -0.109%, **1st percentile** of its last 90.

- OI 19.28M → 21.03M STX (+9.1%, 24h).

- Top traders 1.38 long, all accounts 1.16 long. Taker buy/sell 0.66 last hour.

**Call: long on breakout.**

- **Stop $0.3319** (back inside the range)

- **Trigger:** 1h close above $0.3401

- TP1 $0.3469 (daily Bollinger midline) · TP2 $0.3703 (Oct 22 high)

No close above $0.3401, no trade. Lose $0.3205 and I stay flat.

**Squeeze through $0.3401, or do sellers defend it a third time? Drop your call below.**
