#87 | Divergence is still present, I prefer to wait for MET to retrace, RIF only looks for confirmation, not chasing tails
The market is still giving opportunities, but today feels more like choosing a direction rather than chasing peaks. MET is the one I want to keep an eye on first, it's close to the 20-day moving average, and with no further divergence in the last hour, it seems like it's waiting for a second confirmation; RIF is moving stronger, but it's already distanced from the moving average, and I don't want to chase emotional tails at this position. OPG is only on the watchlist, not expanding.
Top Candidates
1) METUSDT
Brief selection reason: 24-hour increase of 26.87%, basically flat for 1 hour, 6-hour pullback of 1.53%, funding rate slightly negative, OI increased by 33.87% in the last hour, looking more like a strong retracement consolidation.
Observation level: around 0.1355, focus on the support between 0.1321~0.1389.
Trigger condition: must reclaim above 0.1422 and hold steady to be considered a continuation after the retrace.
Invalidation condition: dropping below 0.1288, I will give up at that point.
2) RIFUSDT
Brief selection reason: 24-hour increase of 30.27%, still 9.69% over 6 hours, but OI dropped 16.84% in the last hour, looking like a divergence after a spike, suitable for waiting for a retracement, not for adding more positions.
Observation level: around 0.1012, focus on the retracement reaction between 0.0998~0.1026.
Trigger condition: must reclaim 0.1040, then look towards 0.1055 for continuation.
Invalidation condition: dropping below 0.0984 indicates this sprint is cooling off.
Watchlist / Not chasing: OPGUSDT. The increase is decent, but the funding rate has turned positive, and OI is declining, the rhythm isn't as comfortable as the first two.
Risk Warning: In this type of market, the biggest risk is chasing the tail after a stretch; once a retracement is confirmed, often only price chasing remains. My preference is to first watch MET, RIF only waits for confirmation, not rushing the first move.
Summary in one sentence: Now is not the time for mindless charging; those who can hold after a retracement are worth continuing to watch.
