$ZRO /USDT $2.51 (+27.0%)

📰 News & fundamental

LayerZero Foundation announced a proposed $110M acquisition of Stargate (token-swap STG→ZRO), a material corporate move that explains the sudden demand and re-rating. Protocol has fixed 1B supply and clear vesting schedules.

🪙 smart money & whale (manipulation / scam check)

On-chain vesting + a scheduled unlock (~24.7M ZRO on Aug 20) creates predictable supply pressure; mixing buyout news with large, time-clustered unlocks raises Moderate manipulation/volatility risk (watch exchange inflows and buyback activity). No rug/scam signals found.

📊 technical (SNR & ICT) & trade ideas — TF: M15, H1, H4

Price ripped from the $1.8–$2.0 base into $2.3–$2.9 resistance band; H4 shows breakout attempt above a descending channel, H1/M15 display momentum but RSI divergence—expect quick retests into demand/order-block near $2.00–$2.10. Break & hold above $2.90–$3.10 validates higher targets. (OB = supply cluster $2.3–$2.9; demand = $1.8–$2.1).

Trade Setup

• Long : Entry $2.05–$2.15

 SL $1.92

 TP $2.60 (T1) / $3.10 (T2)

• Short : Entry $2.70–$2.90 (rejection OB)

 SL $3.05

 TP $2.20 (T1) / $1.95 (T2)

🎯 Sentiment: Neutral → Cautious Bullish (news-driven lift but unlocks and whale flows can flip momentum).
