#Gate13周年现场直击
$MERL Little sister broke her discipline today, brothers! We agreed to only short, but then saw the rate +0.0050%, the bulls are still paying protection fees, couldn’t resist placing a long order at 0.0395 😭
Look, there were several consecutive sharp rises from 0.035 straight to 0.042, almost a 20-point increase, with volume exploding from a few million M to 46.8M — after this volume spike to push higher, the next candle’s volume immediately shrank to 7.9M, an 83% decrease.
The key is that the rate is positive! The market maker pushed so high yet still had to pay protection fees to the bears, making this round of positioning too costly. Little sister did some quick calculations: starting from the fourth candle before the recent surge, the volume increased, but by the last candle, the volume clearly shrank and the price stagnated, with a long upper shadow (a sign of selling pressure).
Little sister set a plan: reduce half at 0.042, close all at 0.045. Honestly, brothers, little sister isn’t confident — either it continues to increase volume and breaks 0.043, and she admits defeat, or if the next candle with 15M volume shrinks and pulls back, she’ll take profits first 🎯
