Let's look at the data: • 4H RSI 88.6, 1D RSI 82.3 — extremely overbought • Top 5 addresses hold 75% — highly centralized control • OI skyrocketed 244% — short squeeze + distribution structure • Funding rate turned negative — bullish crowd paying shorts
Long liquidation zones are dense around $7.25; breaking below = waterfall decline.
But the defensive approach neither chases nor shorts.
Why?
❌ Chasing longs = taking on risk 87% of supply is unlocked, continuous selling pressure from 2026 onwards, what can support the valuation?
❌ Blindly shorting = getting squeezed In the short term, it might spike to $8.86 or even $10, do you have enough margin?
Proper defensive strategy:
✅ Mainly observe — not every surge needs participation ✅ Light positions for testing — ≤5x leverage, position ≤30%, stop-loss at $8.9 ✅ Keep the main treasury untouched — in high-volatility markets, only use idle funds in small boats
Over-aggressive attack + ignoring defense + emotional trading = three steps to liquidation.
There will always be another AIA in the market, but your principal only happens once.
