🚨 APE surges 34% after: Whales have diverged, bulls and bears are about to duel

Current APE price is 0.1873, up over 34% in 24 hours, but on-chain data shows—divergence has already become extremely pronounced.

---

🐳 Whales' attitudes are completely opposite

· Bull whales: 137, current holdings 3.38 million U
Average opening price 0.1476, unrealized profit +719k U
Profit ratio 96.35%—already substantial unrealized gains
· Bear whales: 142, current holdings 7.82 million U
Average opening price 0.1637, unrealized loss -992k U
Profit ratio only 9.85%—most are holding through losses

👉 More bear whales, larger positions, deeper losses—this is a typical “short squeeze not yet complete” structure.

💥 Liquidation data confirms bulls are in control

In the past 24 hours:

· Long positions liquidated: 281k
· Short positions liquidated: 769k

Short liquidations are 2.7 times those of longs.
Within 1 hour, short liquidations reached 338k, indicating the short squeeze is still ongoing.

🎯 Direction judgment and strategy

Direction: Volatile but leaning bullish, but not advisable to chase highs

Whale profits are large, they may take profits at any time;
But bears have not surrendered on a large scale, the short squeeze logic is not finished.

✅ Aggressive short-term (bullish bias)

· Entry: 0.180–0.183 dip to test long
· Take profit: 0.191 / 0.200
· Stop loss: 0.168

✅ Conservative strategy

· Wait and see if 0.1913 breaks with volume
· Re-enter after confirmation of breakout
· Or wait for large-scale short liquidation to reverse position and short again

⚠️ Risk warning

· Current risk-reward ratio is no longer ideal
· Whale long positions have 96% unrealized profit, they may liquidate for profit at any time
· Do not heavily leverage at this position chasing the high

Conclusion: Both bulls and bears can trade, but now is a game of seasoned players cutting each other. Retail traders should either hold very light positions or watch the show. $APE
