$MUU 29.3, up 16% over the past 24 hours with $110 million in trading volume—the market-wide Fear and Greed Index is at 72 today, up from just 40 a week ago. This pace looks exactly like market makers spoon-feeding liquidity.
I checked the funding rate, and perpetual futures have already reached a high of 0.06%, with longs adding leverage too aggressively. Looking back at the June move, after the funding rate spiked to 0.08%, the price retraced 22% within three days.

$GT For Short Setup (Breakdown):
Entry: 6.685 – 6.695 (Wait for 1H close below 6.68)
SL: 6.745
TP1: 6.640
TP2: 6.600
Reasoning:
GT is currently trapped in a tight 6.68–6.75 consolidation range. The MACD is completely flat, and price is squeezed directly between the EMAs (5, 10, and 30 are all clustered at 6.71–6.72). Do not trade the middle. Enter only on the confirmed 1H candle breakout of these boundaries. TP1 targets the 24h extremes to fully cover fees and slippage, while TP2 extends to the next logical support/resistance levels.
