$VVV I'm watching this rally hit a wall—and funding just flipped positive.

Price up +24% , but momentum is stalling at 5.08. The last funding period printed +0.00835% after a long run of negative funding. That's the tell: shorts got squeezed, now longs are piling in at the top.

📊 Market Structure

• 4H: Strong uptrend from 3.93 low. EMAs all bullish alignment. Supertrend support at 4.14.

• 1H/15m: Price chopping below EMA9/15. RSI cooling from 78 to 47. StochRSI collapsed from 98 to 7. Momentum exhaustion.

• Liquidity: Clear cluster above 5.294 (24H high). That's where trapped short stops sit—and where FOMO longs enter.

🧠 Smart Money Read

Funding flip is the tell: price stalling, funding turns positive = new longs are now the trapped ones. Smart money squeezed shorts, now needs liquidity above to distribute. Next move? Sweep the high, then reverse.

🎯 Trade Plan – Short

• Entry Zone: 5.290–5.300 (liquidity sweep + HTF resistance)

• Stop: 5.310 (above 24H high—structure invalid)

• Target 1: 5.000 (psychological, scalp)

• Target 2: 4.700 (EMA cluster)

• R:R: 1:3 (risk 0.02, target 0.06)

⚠️ Conviction: 7/10

Funding flip + momentum divergence + liquidity sweep setup is textbook. Only missing volume confirmation. Works in any session—Asia drift, London/NY hunt.

Invalidation: 4H close above 5.310. Until then, I'm waiting for the sweep to short.
