LAYER/USDT:USDT
LAYER displays a textbook short-squeeze setup. Price is up +8.05% while funding has plunged to extreme negative levels (-0.2107%), indicating late shorts are aggressively paying longs to hold underwater positions. The hourly OI increase of +3.31% confirms new capital entering the market, suggesting shorts are doubling down despite bullish momentum. When combined with the divergence alerts showing negative funding at rising prices, the probability of a violent upside move driven by forced short covering is significantly elevated.
