$SAHARA I'm watching this rally cool off—and funding just collapsed.
Price is up +33% , but the last funding period just printed -0.615%. That's the most negative reading in the history. Shorts are trapped, paying to hold into a pump.
📊 Market Structure
• 4H: Broke structure hard from 0.0143 low. Currently extended above all EMAs—bullish bias.
• 1H/15m: Pulling back from 0.0213 high. Currently chopping between 0.0198–0.0202. Bollinger bands wide—momentum cooling.
• Liquidity: Clear cluster above 0.0213 (24H high). That's where short stops sit.
🧠 Smart Money Read
Funding divergence is the tell: price up, funding negative = shorts doubling down at the top. Smart money needs their liquidity to continue the move. Next step? Sweep the high, grab stops, then continuation or distribution.
🎯 Trade Plan – Long
• Entry Zone: 0.0195–0.0197 (pullback to demand + EMA9/15 support)
• Stop: 0.0192 (below recent consolidation—structure invalid)
• Target 1: 0.0205 (scalp)
• Target 2: 0.0213 (liquidity sweep)
• Target 3: 0.0225 (extension, if volume returns)
• R:R: 1:3.5 (risk 0.0005, target 0.0018)
⚠️ Conviction: 6/10
Funding flip is strong, but RSI cooling from overbought needs to reset. Waiting for pullback confirmation. Works in any session—Asia ranges, London/NY sweep.
Invalidation: 4H close below 0.0192. Until then, I'm buying the dip.
