A sharp 2.36% surge in $IRYS 5 minutes, with the price at 0.02574 and a 24-hour range of 0.0182–0.02827.

Let’s review this news: ① What happened: A whale bought several types of tokens worth about $7.22 million within 24 hours. ② Why it matters: The news is mildly positive. Its most immediate impact is on risk appetite and attention; whether it translates into sustained buying will depend on trading activity over the next few days. ③ What I’ll watch: Whether the intraday highs and lows get tested repeatedly, and how the market has moved in the past when similar things happened. ④ What I’ll do: I won’t chase the first candle after the news breaks. I’ll wait for a pullback and confirmation. At the end of the day, $LIT is currently at 3.6502, up 7.62% over 24 hours, with an intraday range of 3.357–3.985.

How do you use the long/short ratio? Let’s use $AKE as an example: the platform-wide account long/short ratio is 1.12 (long 52.8% / short 47.3%) (1.02 an hour ago).

The data is for reference, not a steering wheel.

$DOOD 5 minutes -2.01%, current price 0.002304. If you’re looking to buy the dip, run through these three questions first: ① The 24h low of 0.00208 is holding below.

How will you exit if your entry is wrong? If you can’t answer these, it’s better to wait and see. When prices are falling, the key thing to watch is whether trading volume is tapering off.
