$LAB 🔥 LAB/USDT Real-time Long/Short Strategy
Current Price 9.289 | 24h +16.85% | High 9.50 Low 6.738
The three most critical signals
1️⃣ Funding Epic Extreme: -0.72%/8h (Annualized -789%)
Shorts burn 2.17% daily, 15% weekly
This is a meat grinder, not the cost of shorting
2️⃣ OI Continues to Plummet: 15.38M → 13.78M (-10.4%)
Shorts are being squeezed out massively, price rises = short covering drive
Short squeeze positive feedback still ongoing, but ammunition is depleting
3️⃣ V-shaped rebound after flash crash hits new high 9.50
On 5/31 08:00 flash crash -19.5% to 6.84
Then a V-shaped reversal directly pushed to a new high of 9.50
Bullish strength is terrifying
Five-state judgment
Explosive market → Transition to emotional exhaustion
Dimension Status
Trend Bullish, higher highs and higher lows continue
Short squeeze Extreme, Funding -0.72%
OI Falling, shorts being cleared
Volatility 99%+ quantile, 4H level ±10%+
Sentiment Shorts holding stubbornly (73.4% short), Bulls steady (56.7% long positions)
🎯 Best Strategy: Buy on Pullback
Project Plan
Entry Buy on pullback at 8.80-9.00
Position 1.5% initial
Stop Loss 8.45
Add Position When Breakthrough 9.50 → Increase to 2%
Trailing Stop Loss After Breakthrough 9.50, move up to 9.00
Funding Income Receive 2.17% daily, about 6.5% in 3 days
Target T1: 9.80
Core Logic: Funding -0.72% Longs earn money, Shorts burn money. Most longs (56.7%) have not withdrawn. Taker active buy > sell.
