Conversely, LPT's open interest has surged to $975.24 million, marking a 43.58% increase. Both Top Trader Long/Short Ratio (Accounts) and Long/Short Ratio are on the rise, indicating that the pump has attracted more traders to short positions. The amount of liquidated short is around $300.
Indicators for LPT Price Trend Reversal
Several indicators are crucial for LPT's price trend reversal, including:
1. Market makers and manipulators taking profits.
2. Short traders stopping loss or being liquidated in large numbers compared to the open interest scale.
3. A plunge in Bitcoin's price.
As of now, there are no signs of these indicators, leading to the speculation that market makers and manipulators may choose to continue pumping for more profits.
Conclusion
The recent surge in meme coins, led by ShIB and LPT, has caught the attention of traders and market analysts. With Bitcoin's price remaining static, the focus has shifted to these alternative cryptocurrencies.
