ALPINE has increased by 2.73% in the past 24 hours, but there are hidden signals behind this rally — an interesting asymmetry between technical and capital indicators.

Positive signals do exist. The 7-period EMA recently crossed above the 25-period EMA, with this bullish crossover occurring around 10:40 on January 16, which typically indicates a potential trend reversal towards the upside. Even more interestingly, trading volume suddenly surged around 17:00 on the same day, with single-transaction peaks reaching 589,757 USDT and 426,888 USDT. Such increased volume often reflects active buying interest. Most importantly, buy orders held firm at the 0.59-0.60 support level, and community discussions still hold expectations for a continued rebound.

However, bearish signals cannot be ignored. The MACD line has already fallen below the signal line, and the histogram turned negative. By 18:20 on January 16, the upward momentum clearly weakened. More concerning is the outflow of institutional funds — large inflows in the past two hours were -7,448 USDT and -16,186 USDT, indicating that major players are reducing their positions, suggesting a possible decline in confidence.

Looking at volatility, ATR is narrowing, and Bollinger Bands are compressing. The market's turbulence significantly decreased after 18:20 on January 16, which could either signal brewing volatility or indicate waning momentum.

Overall, the bulls still have a chance, but the retreat of institutional players warrants caution.
