$GTC | The Short Squeeze Setup
Despite a +28% pump and a sharp rejection, Extremely Negative Funding (-0.196%) and doubling Open Interest (from 12.9M to 27.8M) confirm that shorts are piling in aggressively. They aren't catching the top—they’re providing the fuel.
🎯 TRADE PLAN$GTC
Entry Zone: 0.1260 – 0.1290 (1h EMA Pullback)
Stop Loss: 0.1140
Targets: 0.1440 | 0.1660 – 0.1680 (Major BSL Cluster)
💡 THE LOGIC
The Trap: Retail is shorting the "blow-off top," but negative funding is punishing them. A reclaim of 0.1330 will likely trigger a cascade of forced covers.
Liquidity: Heatmaps show massive Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) magnets at 0.144 and 0.166. Price is naturally drawn to these high-volume clusters.
RSI Reset: Momentum has cooled from 82 to the high 50s, clearing the overbought signal and creating room for the next expansion.
BTC Filter: Bitcoin is stable above $74k support, providing a safe environment for altcoin outperformance.
