$AKE is on a strong upward run… but what I'm really focused on isn't the rally itself. It's what comes next. 👀

The price has been tightly consolidating in the same zone, and liquidity is stacking up on both sides. The prior all-time high still sits roughly 60% higher than current levels, so given how volatile this coin is, a sharp wick or another squeeze can't be ruled out before the true trend reveals itself.

That's why I'm sitting back and observing rather than jumping straight into a short position.

We saw something similar play out with $LSK — one final explosive move, shorts got wrecked, and then things settled down afterward.

My take is that $AKE is approaching the more critical stage of its cycle. Rather than trying to call the exact top, I'd rather wait for solid confirmation first.

And if you're already holding a short, don't let one unexpected wick wipe you out. Keep your liquidation levels in check, hold sufficient margin, and avoid overleveraging. Staying patient beats fighting every single candle
