DUSK has gained 31% in the past 24 hours, seeming very lively. But a closer look at the smart money data feels a bit off.

The bullish whale camp has 77 members, 32 more than the bears, completely dominating in numbers. It looks like the bulls have the advantage, but the real story is in the positions. Although the bears are fewer in number, they hold a position worth $884,500, which is heavier than the bullish whales' $806,600. It's like a small elite knight squad facing a large but scattered army—appearing to have the upper hand on the surface, but being pressed from behind.

Even more interesting is the profit data. 93.5% of the bullish whales are in profit, indicating this rally has definitely hurt the bears—almost 91% of the bearish whales are now in loss. It looks like the bulls are winning big.

But there's a catch: the current price of 0.08578 is already significantly higher than the bullish whales' average cost of 0.079. How much more momentum is left for the push? Negative funding rates are starting to flash, signaling the market is beginning to brake this crazy bullish run.

Currently, it’s recommended to stay on the sidelines; chasing the high is too risky. If the price stabilizes around 0.075-0.078, consider taking a light position to test the bullish sentiment, with a stop-loss set at 0.072. This level must hold.

The short position's 880,000 is really hitting hard. Although this wave of gains is impressive, it feels like we've already reached the top. Funding rates are starting to flash red lights, so you still need to stay cautious.

Although there are fewer shorts, their positions are heavy. This is the real threat. Don't be fooled by the number of longs.

Short positions are even more heavy? Isn't this just whales building walls? There are many long positions but not much real money, it's just inflated虚胖.

The group of short sellers is small but their moves are huge, it feels like an ambush. The bulls are rushing this wave of rise a bit too quickly.

The detail that the short positions are heavier is easily overlooked; it feels like the bullish wave is a bit weak.

That 880,000 USD short position is the real knife, few in number but ruthless... This wave looks like the bulls are winning, but in reality, they might be just setting up a bag holder for others.

The short positions are even more heavy, this detail is amazing. It seems like the bulls are crushing, but in reality, they are being suppressed by the elite. Those in the know have already sniffed it out.
