$RUNE up 22.6% while BTC barely blinks at +0.5%. this is not a market wide pump, RUNE's out here running its own script.

shorts are getting cooked for it, paying to hold a losing bet while price presses fresh highs. $491K piled into positions in the last hour alone, on top of $4.9M total open. the wrong side of this is burning close to $14K a day just to stay seated.

crowd's still 55/45 long so it's not a total pile on, but the ones on the wrong side of the squeeze are the ones funding it. stretched move, can snap back fast.
